While onion peels are often discarded, they offer a convenient material for wrapper development due to their health and shelf-life benefits for food and consumers. Spoilage remains a key issue for many consumers, prompting the need for safer, more efficient alternatives. This study was conducted in response to growing environmental concerns, particularly the problems posed by plastic wraps, which contribute to toxicity, waste, and clogged drainage systems. The researchers explored the potential of onion peels in developing biodegradable and functional food wrappers. A mixed-method experimental design was used, combining interviews and surveys with Home Economics students at the Technological University of the Philippines – Manila. The study addressed gaps in previous research, particularly around the tensile strength and food storage capability of biodegradable materials. Results showed that 80% of participants supported the use of onion peel wrappers as a brilliant alternative to conventional wraps, while 20% expressed doubts due to the lack of proven long-term shelf-life and durability. This research highlights the potential of onion peel wrappers as a sustainable food packaging option. | ||
