Arabinoxylans (AX) are the major non-cellulosic polysaccharides found in cereals and grasses. It comprises a linear chain of β-(1,4)-xylopyranosyl units, which can be substituted at O-3 O-2 positions. The high molar mass cereal AXs provides robust foundation for developing packaging materials with excellent mechanical properties. Combined their solubility, biocompatibility, ability to form films, emerge as promising candidates advanced applications. hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) between adjacent AX chains forms dense macromolecular network, resulting reduced mobility and, consequently, improved barrier properties against oxygen films. Furthermore, natural variability due reactive -OH enables multi-faceted strategies enhance material AX-based films have proven an economical effective solution extending shelf life fresh produce during transportation storage. Considering potential reduce plastic waste significantly, this review compiles latest research findings elucidate structure composition arabinoxylans, significance packaging, impact on characteristics Additionally, highlights application showcasing beneficial role advancing technology.
