A thermophysical method or process for producing a biofilm without chemical additives (acids, bases, or plasticizers) or the addition of other components such as fibers or starches. The material is resistant to mechanical stress similar to paper, a natural thermal and acoustic insulator for the protection and transport of solid products, and is 100% biodegradable.

The material is resistant to mechanical stress similar to paper, a natural thermal and acoustic insulator for the protection and transport of solid products, and is 100% biodegradable.

iofilm made from 100% natural fiber, obtained from vegetable waste such as carrots, oranges, and cauliflower. It is a 100% biodegradable material, free of chemical additives, that begins composting after five days. It can be transformed into packaging for dry foods.

This device utilizes the Surface Energy Transfer (SET) phenomenon between fluorescein and functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to enable the selective measurement of UDP-glucose and ADP-glucose, thereby indirectly determining the sucrose/starch concentration in the solution. Furthermore, the method for synthesizing the AuNPs and functionalizing them with polymeric ligands to obtain the nanocomposite (nanosensor) is presented.
