Abstract: This paper investigates in detail the production and characterization of edible films composed of Chitosan and powdered Moringa Oleifera. The two substances, namely Moringa Oleifera powder and Chitosan have a 0.1:1 ratio. Ultimately, this comprehensive analysis illustrates the properties of Chitosan and Moringa Oleifera composite films, providing valuable insights into potential applications in a variety of fields, including food packaging. An analysis of the water vapor transit rates, opacity, color, and tensile strength is necessary to completely understand the impact of this nutrient-dense plant. To develop a broad notion or understanding of the potential for implementing an edible film in the real world, meticulous experiment preparation, thorough application, and a meticulous study of all the factors documented in this work are essential.
