AB Protein-based bioplastics have been highly investigated in order to substitute conventional plastics. This is due totheir biodegradability and natural origin, which reduce well-known plastic pollution. Nevertheless, their low mechanical propertiesand high environmental sensitivity have slowed their advance to the market. One solution to this problem is the use of additionalcross-linking methods, which improve the bioplastics’ properties. In this sense, the main goal of this study was to evaluate theinfluence of different cross-linking methods (physical, chemical, and enzymatic) on the mechanical and functional properties of peaprotein-based bioplastics. According to the results obtained in this work, an additional cross-linking stage could tune the propertiesof protein-based bioplastics.
