Conventional plastics are derived from petroleum, which implies serious environmental concerns. Biodegradable coatings and films represent an interesting alternative to conventional plastics, for which reason different bio-polymers have been explored to develop materials for food packaging that does not harm the environment in addition to providing increased food shelf life. The incorpora…
Biodegradable polymers are particularly promising as food packaging materials. The incorporation of other natural agents, such as plasticizers and antimicrobial and/or antioxidant ingredients, into biopolymer matrices, will lead to develop a new class of biomaterials with enhanced properties and new functionalities for industrial applications including food packaging. The relevance of thi…
