Biopolymers are mainly the polymers which are created or obtained from living creatures
such as plants and bacteria rather than petroleum, which has traditionally been the source of …

Edible films and coating provide a potentially effective method for preserving fresh food
products by reducing moisture loss, regulating respiration rate, improving surface …

Starch-based packaging materials are being developed to alleviate environmental pollution
and greenhouse gas emissions associated with plastic-based ones. However, the high …

Starch biopolymer films incorporated with chitosan nanoparticles (CNP) or starch/CNP films
are promising alternatives to non-degradable food packaging materials. The films can be …

The introduction of bioplastics has been an evolution for plastic industry since conventional
plastics have been claimed to cause several environmental issues. Apart from its …

With the global transition toward carbon neutrality, zero-waste strategy, and with the
emergence of bacteriophages as ubiquitous antibiotic substitutes, we developed natural …

Holocellulose was extracted from wheat straw and catalytically transformed into
carboxymethylated holocellulose (CMHCS) to prepare a biodegradable composite film. By …

This paper documents the thermal and biodegradation behaviour of kenaf/cornhusk fiber
reinforced corn starch-based hybrid composites film (CS/K–CH) produced by solution …

Biodegradable films based on polymers from renewable resources have become a feasible
technology to preserve the quality (texture, color, flavor) and safety of food. The addition of …

The use of biodegradable plastics is gradually increasing, but its expensive cost limits
promotion. In this study, poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/thermoplastic …
