      abstract = {This study aimed to develop biodegradable CMC–collagen composite films incorporated with anthocyanin from banana bracts (Musa spp) and bromelain from pineapple peels (Ananas comosus) for advanced fresh fruits and vegetables packing applications. Anthocyanins and bromelain were extracted from fresh banana bracts and pineapple peels respectively and used for film preparation. The composite films were prepared using 3% carboxymethyl cellulose and 2% collagen with 1% glycerol as plasticizer under heating with constant stirring to form a viscous solution. Anthocyanin and bromelain were added to the polymer matrix, cast in a mold, and oven-dried at 40°C. The dried film was thereafter peeled off the mold and stored for analysis. The resulting films provide antioxidant, pH-responsive, and proteolytic properties, aiding infection monitoring through colour change, and offering a sustainable, Bioactive compounds derived from GF agro-waste resources for active food packaging applications.},
