The edible leathers were dried in an oven and evaluated for their physicochemical parameters (Aw, moisture, pH, protein content, and hygroscopicity), optical properties (color and browning index), structural characteristics (thickness and SEM), mechanical properties, and spectroscopic profile (NMR). Regardless of the OLP concentration used, it was possible to form leathers from ora-pro-nóbis leaves and agar-agar. Color characteristics were not significantly affected in terms of lightness (L) and chroma a. However, significant differences were observed for chroma b∗ and C∗. The physicochemical stability of the leathers was confirmed by their low water activity (<0.8) and moisture content (<7.8 %). Increasing OLP levels resulted in higher protein content (6.8–8.9 g/100 g w.b.) and thickness (0.3–0.5 mm), which positively impacted puncture resistance and indicated a more cohesive structure.
