  • Descrição: This work aimed to develop films based on pequi ( Caryocar brasiliense ) pulp added of gelatin and plasticizer (glycerol or sorbitol) and characterize their properties and biodegradation in different soils. The films were presented with a good appearance, easy to handle, and with a predominant yellowish color. The greater the addition of plasticizers (3.5%), the greater the elongation and the lower the tensile strength of the films. The higher the gelatin (7%) and the lower the plasticizer (1.5%) concentrations, the higher the tensile strength. Thermal analysis allowed to observe a desirable characteristic for packing films: a band between 2 Ɵ  = 21° for both glycerol and sorbitol films, which is present in low crystalline films, reducing the incidence of light in the products. Films were at the most 100% degraded over a period of 5 to 9 days. Thus, the films obtained are recommended to be utilized for food packaging applications. Graphical abstract
