ABSTRACT Konjac glucomannan (KGm) has emerged as a promising candidate in the realm of sustainable packaging materials due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and unique chemical properties. Derived from konjac plant tuber, KGm is primarily composed glucose mannose units linked by β‐1,4 glycosidic bonds, which impart high molecular weight, acetylation levels, functional characteristics such viscosity, gel‐forming ability, water absorption capacity. In food industry, films serve edible coatings on fruits vegetables, extending shelf life creating protective barrier against moisture oxygen. KGm‐based are used controlled release formulations, wound healing dressings, tissue engineering scaffolds. Various manufacturing techniques solvent casting, microfluidic spinning, electrospinning customize mechanical properties structure for specific applications. Ongoing research aims enhance resistance through innovations composite formulations cross‐linking methods. Looking ahead, further developments hold promise addressing environmental concerns traditional plastic materials.

This study evaluates the potential of natural and thermally modified starches from Kazakhstan, including cassava, potato, wheat, corn, pea, rice, for production biodegradable films. Key physicochemical properties were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Electron Microscopy (SEM), a Rapid Visco Analyzer (RVA). The results show that cassava starch, with highest magnesium content (43.07 mg/100 g) peak viscosity (1300 RVU), exhibits superior mechanical strength elasticity, making it ideal durable agricultural Corn high crystallinity moderate (1150 excellent stability long-term applications. In contrast, wheat rice starches, lower viscosities (750 650 RVU, respectively) biodegradability, are more suitable short-term eco-friendly Modification processes improved moisture resistance reduced retrogradation tendencies, particularly in corn starches. SEM analysis revealed have dense uniform surface structures, enhancing film durability flexibility. These findings highlight utilizing Kazakhstan’s starch resources localized production, reducing reliance on imports while promoting sustainable agriculture.

In this paper, edible composite coatings, which used chitosan (CTS) as the matrix material, glycerol plasticizer, and natamycin antibacterial were prepared films by a casting method. Taking cherry tomatoes research models, optimal preservation effect of coating was achieved using 10 g/L CTS, 2.5 glycerol, 125 mg/L under conditions 25 °C 50% RH. The thickness, transparency, water vapor transmittance (WVT), tensile strength (TS), elongation at break (EB) film measured results showed best. direct application to kept valuable for 20 days. weight loss rate hardness reduced 22.13% 12.55%, respectively. total soluble solid (TSS) content vitamin c (Vc) increased 2.54% 20.35%, malondialdehyde (MDA) peroxidase (POD) activity decreased 19.38% 28.03%, Based on significant coating, it is expected be widely in fruits vegetables with skin morphologies similar tomatoes.
