Biopolymers are polymers found in nature. They are being studied for the possibility of making biodegradable plastic. Antioxidative polyphenolic compounds from fruits can be added to the biopolymer material as active components. The addition of polyphenols makes the material an active material. The aim of this work was to prepare and investigate an active material based on starch biopolymer with incorporated apple polyphenols. Polyphenols were extracted using an ultrasonic bath and identified as flavan-3-ols (procyanidin B1, (+)-catechin, procyanidin B2, (-)-epicatechin), phenolic acids (chlorogenic acid, isomer of chlorogenic acid), flavonols (quercetin-3-galactoside, quercetin-3-glucoside and rutinoside, quercetin derivative 1, quercetin derivative 2, quercetin-3-xyloside, quercetin-3-rhamnoside), and anthocyanins (cyanidin-3 -galactoside) in a total amount of 351 \(mg kg^{-1}\)(peel) and 29 \(mg kg^{-1}\) (apple flesh). Flavan-3-ols (87.0%) were the most abundant in apple flesh, and flavonols (68%) in apple peel. After the polyphenols from the extract were adsorbed onto the starch, flavan-3-ols (92%) were the most abundant in the adsorbed polyphenols of the apple flesh, and flavonols (74%) in the adsorbed polyphenols of the peel. With the increase in the concentration of polyphenols in the extract, the amount of polyphenols adsorbed on starch also increased (\(r^{2}\) from 0.962 to 0.9938). From the prepared starch with adsorbed apple polyphenols with the addition of glycerol plasticizer, a film was prepared that can serve as an active packaging material. The properties of foil and the possibility of packaging food with foil need to be further investigated.
