Unlike many biopolymers, α-1,3-glucan (α-1,3-GLU) is water-insoluble, making it a promising candidate for the production of moisture-resistant films with applications in biodegradable packaging, biomedicine, and cosmetics. This study aimed to characterize structural, physicochemical (water affinity, optical, mechanical), biodegradation properties film made from α-1,3-GLU extracted Laetiporus sulphureus. The was fabricated through alkaline dissolution, casting, drying, washing remove residual NaOH, re-plasticization glycerol solution. FTIR Raman spectroscopy confirmed polysaccharide nature film, predominant α-glycosidic linkages. exhibited semi-crystalline structure high opacity due surface roughness resulting polymer coagulation. Owing re-plasticization, showed moisture content (~47%), water solubility (81.95% after 24 h), weak mechanical (tensile strength = 1.28 MPa, elongation at break ≈ 10%). Its vapor permeability (53.69 g mm m−2 d−1 kPa−1) comparable other glycerol-plasticized reported literature. supported adhesion soil microorganisms target bacteria susceptible degradation by Trichoderma harzianum endo- exo-α-1,3-glucanases, indicating its biodegradability. limitations excessive hydration indicate need improvements composition methods producing films.

The integration of machine learning (ML) into material manufacturing has driven advancements in optimizing biopolymer production processes. ML techniques, applied across various stages production, enable the analysis complex data generated throughout identifying patterns and insights not easily observed through traditional methods. As sustainable alternatives to petrochemical-based plastics, biopolymers present unique challenges due their reliance on variable bio-based feedstocks processing conditions. This review systematically summarizes current applications techniques aiming provide a comprehensive reference for future research while highlighting potential enhance efficiency, reduce costs, improve product quality. also shows role algorithms, including supervised, unsupervised, deep
