Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

My comments are the following:

  1. The aim of the study is not clearly defined in the abstract.
  2. The introduction part should contain more references containing the possibility to use and produced edible/biodegradable packaging. The following reference should be used: Simona, J., Dani, D., Petr, S., Marcela, N., Jakub, T., & Bohuslava, T. (2021). Edible films from carrageenan/orange essential oil/trehalose—structure, optical properties, and antimicrobial activity. Polymers13(3), 332.
  3. It would be good to include the picture of produced PFLP.
  4. Principal component analysis should be included too.
