packaging. However, petrochemical plastic waste will result in large amounts of non …

Plastics sourced from petrochemicals are most commonly and widely used for food
packaging films. However, the extensive employment of petrochemical plastics unavoidably …

Single-use plastics are a major threat to the environment and human health. Prioritizing
sustainable and nature-derived biodegradable materials to develop edible films and …

Edible films and coatings are a current and future food packaging trend. In the food and envi-
ronmental sectors, there is a growing need to understand the role of edible packaging and …

Improving functional properties of biopolymers for use as environment friendly packaging is
an area of current interest. Biodegradable films with improved barrier and mechanical …

Biopolymer-based films are natural, renewable, nontoxic and biodegradable alternatives to
plastic packaging. Despite years of ongoing research, biopolymer films still lag much behind …

Insufficient mechanical, barrier and water resistance properties of guar gum (GG) films limit
their application in food packaging field. Herein, the properties of GG films were enhanced …

Petroleum-derived packaging materials commonly lack biodegradability, posing significant
environmental and health concerns. As a result, there is a growing focus among researchers …
