Abstract Food processing wastes together with the perishable foodstuff loss promote environmental and societal concerns. Food byproducts can have value as a source of functional molecules for developing active packaging without food waste, under a circular economy. Nevertheless, the often-associated extraction/chemical processes compromise the sustainability of food byproducts reusability. In this work, coffee silverskin (CS) and starch, recovered from coffee roasting and potato industries, respectively, were together gelatinized to form in-situ films. Targeting to fit with the food application requirements, it is important to understand the influence of crude CS amount (1%, 5%, and 10% w/w of dry starch weight) on potato starch-based film properties. CS conferred a brownish coloration to the films, maintaining their transparency. The films colour intensity, antioxidant activity, and water tolerance were directly related with the CS dosage. Moreover, as high the CS amount, higher the elasticity, stretchability, and UV radiation absorption of the pristine films. These data emphasized that CS molecules extracted during gelatinization prevented the starch-starch hydrogen bonding and conferred functional and barrier properties. Overall, adding crude CS during potato starch gelatinization revealed to be an efficient strategy to tune the performance of potato starch-based films, opening an opportunity for valorising coffee roasting and potato byproducts.
