In the present paper, extracts from pomace after cherry wine production were used as biocomponents of antioxidant packages. In the study, the highest concentrations of polyphenolic compounds were obtained when a 50% ethanol solution was used as the extraction solution. The addition of extracts provided statistically significant (p < 0.05) changes in water vapor transmission for the films obtained. The WVTR results are at a very low level, as values ranging from 7.96 ± 0.33 [g/m2 d] (sample 2) to 10.95 ± 0.33 [g/m2 d] (sample 1) were obtained. The addition of extract also affected the oxygen barrier. Samples without extract addition showed an OTR value of 2.42 ± 0.23 [cm3/m2 d 0.1 MPa]. A statistically significant (p < 0.05) reduction in this parameter was affected by the addition of extract to the matrix. Oxygen barrier properties ranged from 0.50 ± 0.05 (sample 3) to 0.94 ± 0.04 (sample 1), indicating high barrier properties of the packaging material. The addition of extracts caused an increase in opacity: films 3 and 4 were characterized by the highest value of the parameter, which was, respectively: 18.14 ± 27.02 and 18.97 ± 29.83 [%]. The research carried out in this study allows us to conclude that bioactive films with high application potential have been achieved and, in addition, represent a natural and ecological alternative to the materials currently used.
