Abstract

This study aimed to develop a healthy xylitol-based edible film for gummy products with optimal antibacterial properties. Using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), the experiment tested four xylitol concentrations (3.6%, 3.9%, 4.2%, and 4.5% w/v) with three replications per treatment. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) with significant differences (P<0.05 or P<0.01) further examined through Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. The films were evaluated for antibacterial activity (inhibition zone), water content, water activity, and microstructural properties via optical microscopy. Results revealed that the 4.2% (w/v) xylitol concentration yielded optimal properties, demonstrating an inhibition zone of 12.87 mm, water content of 2.31%, and water activity of 0.87. Optical microscopy confirmed superior structural integrity, showing a smooth surface with minimal bubble formation and clear appearance. These findings suggest that 4.2% xylitol concentration produces edible films with ideal physicochemical and antibacterial properties for application in healthy gummy product manufacturing.
