Abstract: The present study of this work is to prepare a novel wound dressing composites are enriched with medicinal values which prevents the microbial contaminations and cell damage to the wounded surface. So that the films consist of antioxidant and antimicrobial properties are an appreciable one for the composite film. In this studies, gelatin is a proteinous substance isolated from the chicken feet along with sodium alginate, the composite films are prepared and these films are enriched with ethanolic extract of black turmeric (Curcuma Caesia Roxb). The composite films are prepared and characterised for FTIR, SEM, mechanical strength, water absorption studies and also evaluate the invitro studies such as antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. As the result, shows that the G-ALG-CC increased water absorption capacity and better mechanical properties of film in contrast to G-ALG. The SEM and FTIR results exhibit the natural features of the composite film. The G-ALG-CC composite film possess significantly increased levels of antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. The Scanning Electron Microscope images of G-ALG-CC reveals the smooth surface of the film which is necessary requirement of the biomaterial.
