This research aimed to assess the properties of biodegradable films prepared with lyophilized myofibrillar proteins (LMP) from fish filleting residues, fatty acids (stearic, palmitic, and caproic), and surfactant (SLS). The films were characterized to assess the effects of adding those components. Adding fatty acids and SLS resulted in more flexible films with higher elongation values compared to the LMP film. The films prepared with 5% stearic acid and 10% SLS and with 10% palmitic acid and 20% SLS had higher tensile strength compared to the LMP film. Solubility reached 100% in the films added with 10% fatty acids with and without SLS. Increasing the concentration of fatty acids and SLS led to less transparent films. Microscopy analysis showed changes in the morphological structure of the films added with fatty acids and SLS, resulting in whitish films when greater SLS contents were used.
