Abstract This study investigated the effect of different fruit peel powders on the functional properties of gelatin/polyethylene bilayer (GPB) films for active packaging. Fruit peels are often regarded as waste products, despite having antimicrobial and antioxidant properties that are beneficial, particularly in food packaging systems. Pomegranate (PMG), papaya (PPY) and jackfruit (JF) peel powders were incorporated into fish gelatin film-forming solutions before being casted on a polyethylene (PE) layer. GPB films without fruit peel powders and with chitosan (CHI) were used as controls. The physical and functional properties of the GPB films were determined. The incorporation of fruit peels into GPB films significantly (p
