It is well established that the extrusion of proteins is a potential for obtaining edible films on a large scale [41]. For these authors, the incorporation of polysaccharides and inclusion of nanoparticles in these films tend to improve their mechanical properties. Park et al. [42] studied bioplastics made from extruded gelatin plasticized with glycerol, sorbitol or a mixture of both. In this study, they discard sorbitol as a plasticizer because of low flow in the extrusion of the material.
