Biodegradable Polymer-Based Food Packaging

Abstract

Food packaging has a considerable vital effect in preserving the food quality from any physico-chemical and environmental damage. The requirement of consumers and industry for improved quality food has resulted in the production of active and intelligent food packaging technology in recent years. Traditionally, plastic material is applied in the food industry owing to its extensive accessibility and excellent mechanical properties at a low cost. The rising environmental and health concern of plastic packaging waste has conducted to the introduction of eco-friendly materials. Bio-based polymer materials can be treated for the formation of biodegradable plastics. To succeed in this aim, biopolymers should be inexpensive, biodegradable, and richly accessible. Bioplastic packaging substances derived from sustainable biomass could be applied as a continuous replacement to petrochemically derived plastic substances. This chapter highlights the progress in biopolymer-developed packaging with considering active and intelligent packaging.
