Fruit Purees, Extracts and Juices: Sustainable Source of Edible Packaging

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Edible Food Packaging

Abstract

Plastic waste from synthetic polymer-based food packaging industry has detrimental environmental impact due to continued and injudicious use during the past century. Agriculture sector generates agri-residues in large amounts which also find their way to pollute environment. This chapter explores the potential of novel plant-based materials (fruits and vegetables) and their residues which can be used as source of bio-based edible packaging. Hence, the waste from one industry serving as the raw material for the other can be projected as a viable solution to the plastic pollution and an important step towards sustainability. Recent developments made towards edible films derived from vegetables and fruits, their properties, potential applications and future scopes are discussed in this chapter.
