The most recent strategies available for upcycling agri‐food losses and waste (FLW) into
functional bioplastics and advanced materials are reviewed and the valorization of food …

Highlights•Overview of biobased polymers used as a component in (food) packaging
materials.•Different strategies for improving barrier properties of biobased packaging.• …

The films produced from pure starch are brittle and difficult to handle. Chemical
modifications (eg cross-linking) and using a second biopolymer in the starch based …

Novel modified starch/carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) composite films were prepared by a
casting method. The effects of CMC addition on the some physical properties of the resulted …

Cellulose nanofibers were isolated from banana peel using a combination of chemical and
mechanical treatments with different number of passages through the high-pressure …

Biodegradable films were prepared by using the flour and starch isolated from plantain
bananas of the variety “Terra”(Musa paradisiaca). Since the non-starchy fraction present in …

The development of biobased active films for use in food packaging is increasing due to low
cost, environmental appeal, renewability and availability. The objective of this research was …

The aims of this study were to report the film-forming properties of salep glucomannan (SG)
and characterize its physical, barrier, mechanical, sorption and thermal properties for the first …

The influence of the amylose: amylopectin ratio on the properties of pea, potato and cassava
starch films and the effect of the incorporation of rice bran of two different particle sizes were …

Rice flour is a starchy material with low-cost, because it can be produced from rice that is
broken during processing. The aim of this study was to develop biodegradable films based …
