Fully Biodegradable Packaging Films for Fresh Food Storage Based on Oil‐Infused Bacterial Cellulose

Advanced Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11(23)

Published: April 3, 2024

Abstract Fully biodegradable packaging materials are demanded to resolve the issue of plastic pollution. However, fresh food storage performance is generally much lower than that plastics due their high permeability, microbial friendliness, and limited stretchability transparency. Here a material reported with based on an oil‐infused bacterial cellulose (OBC) porous film. The oil infusion significantly improved cellulose's food‐keeping by reducing its gas increasing transparency, enabling active release green vapor‐phase preservative molecules, while maintaining intrinsically degradability. Strawberries stored in container OBC lid at 23 °C after 5 days exhibited moldy rate 0%, contrast 100% those poly(ethylene). Enhanced also obtained tomatoes, pork, shrimp. film naturally degraded being buried wet soil 30 for 9 days, identical degradation cellulose. liquid seal strategy broadly applies different celluloses, providing general option developing cellulose‐based materials.

Innovations in Food Packaging: From Bio-Based Materials to Smart Packaging Systems

Processes, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(10), P. 2085 - 2085

Published: Sept. 26, 2024

This review highlights recent innovations in food packaging, emphasizing the shift from conventional petroleum-based materials to bio-based alternatives and smart packaging systems. Bio-based materials, such as starch, cellulose, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), offer sustainable solutions due their biodegradability reduced environmental impact. These are positioned eco-friendly traditional plastics but face challenges related production costs scalability. Additionally, advancements technologies, including sensor indicator systems, provide real-time quality monitoring, enhancing safety reducing waste. Active incorporating natural antioxidants moisture control, extend product shelf life improve preservation. Furthermore, these biopolymers typically present a lower CO2 footprint, energy costs, water consumption during production, compared traditionally used synthetic plastics. The identifies challenges, regulatory barriers technological limitations, also outlines significant opportunities for future research innovation sector, aiming more efficient, safer, environmentally solutions.

Food packaging, which is typically made of paper/cardboard, glass, metal, and plastic, essential for protecting preserving food. However, the impact conventional food packaging especially predominant use plastics, due to their versatility low cost, bring serious environmental health problems such as pollution by micro nanoplastics. In response these challenges, biotechnology emerges a new way improving providing biopolymers sustainable alternatives. this context, bacterial cellulose (BC), biodegradable biocompatible material produced bacteria, stands out its mechanical resistance, preservation capacity, rapid degradation promising solution replacing plastics. despite advantages, large-scale application still encounters technical economic challenges. These include high costs compared when materials are used, difficulties in standardizing membrane production through microbial methods, challenges optimizing cultivation processes, so further studies necessary ensure safety industrial viability. Thus, review provides an overview impacts packaging. It discusses development highlighting BC biopolymer. Additionally, it explores biotechnological techniques innovative structural modifications BC, well ways optimize process. The study also emphasizes importance solutions promoting circular economy within industry reducing impact.
