Abstract

The most commonly used packaging materials are synthetic plastics. This petroleum-based synthetic plastics generate massive wastes to the environment and treating human life. During incineration, synthetic plastics release harmful gasses into the atmosphere. Research is under way to extract, develop, characterize, and apply biodegradable materials to minimize the impact of synthetic plastic. Biodegradable packaging is the best option to replace petroleum-based synthetic plastics. The objective of this review is to compile extraction, development, characterization and application of biodegradable films as packaging materials for fish products. Peer reviewed articles were downloaded from Springer Link, Science Direct, MDPI, and Taylor and Francis journals. Based on their origin biodegradable are classified into three namely biopolymers extracted from biomass (protein, carbohydrate and lipid), produced by classical chemical synthesis of bio-monomers and produced by microorganisms. Fabrication of biodegradable films involves the use of biopolymers, solvent (water or ethanol) and plasticizer (glycol, glycerin and sorbitol). Solvent or solution casting is the most widely used method to prepare biodegradable films. Instruments used to characterize biodegradable films are Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimeter, X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis Spectrophotometry, Nuclear Magnetic Resonances and Thermal analysis. The advanced technology for fish products packaging are modified atmosphere packaging, active packaging, intelligent packaging and smart packaging. It is concluded that biodegradable film have great potential for fish packaging and do not harm the environment as it breakdown into organic matter.
