The invention relates to an edible 
package film based on 
chitosan and a preparation method thereof. At present, industrial production and actual commercial application of the edible 
package film are not promoted due to the most important reasons that the edible 
package film is poor in 
mechanical strength and has no hot-sealing property. In the invention, a 
calendering method is employed, wherein the preparation method includes the steps of: mixing a 
chitosan solution with a 
gelatin solution or a 
starch solution, adding 
glycerol, 
propolis and 
lysozyme, performing temperature-constant blend cooling and then ultrasonic degassing, and allowing the mixture to stand to prepare a 
composite film liquid; and spreading the 
composite film liquid in a flat dish, and vacuum-
drying the film liquid to prepare the edible package film. Through addition of the 
gelatin, the 
starch and the like bio-
macro-molecular components, the film-forming performance of the 
chitosan is improved. The chitosan 
composite film is improved in mechanical performance, and meanwhile, with addition of the natural anti-bacterial components, 
propolis and 
lysozyme, which have synergistic effects, the chitosan composite film, as food packages, can inhibit 
reproduction of microorganisms and prolong the 
shelf life of the foods largely, so that the edible package film can be used in industrial production and has a wide application prospect.
