“…Meanwhile, UT in 5 and 15 wt.% further increased the hydrophobicity of PBAT due to the more hydrophobic character with respect to GR, even so to a similar degree of the materials with 5 and 10 wt.% of GR (p > 0.05). Regarding the industrial application of the obtained materials, the results point out the high interest for these materials for packaging applications, as low hydrophilicity is desired in materials for this use [7,66]. Table 2 summarizes the colour coordinates of PBAT and PBAT resin-based formulations.…”

Polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) is a biodegradable polymer with good features for packaging applications. However, the mechanical performance and high prices of PBAT limit its current usage at the commercial level. To improve the properties and reduce the cost of PBAT, pine resin derivatives, gum rosin (GR) and pentaerythritol ester of GR (UT), were proposed as sustainable additives. For this purpose, PBAT was blended with 5, 10, and 15 wt.% of additives by melt-extrusion followed by injection moulding. The overall performance of the formulations was assessed by tensile test, microstructural, thermal, and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. The results showed that although good miscibility of both resins with PBAT matrix was achieved, GR in 10 wt.% showed better interfacial adhesion with the PBAT matrix than UT. The thermal characterization suggested that GR and UT reduce PBAT melting enthalpy and enhance its thermal stability, improving PBAT processability. A 10 wt.% of GR significantly increased the tensile properties of PBAT, while a 15 wt.% of UT maintained PBAT tensile performance. The obtained materials showed higher hydrophobicity than neat PBAT. Thus, GR and UT demonstrated that they are advantageous additives for PBAT–resin compounding for rigid food packaging which are easy to process and adequate for industrial scalability. At the same time, they enhance its mechanical and hydrophobic performance.

“…Finally, an emerging research area is focused on chitosan nanoparticles as green fillers, for the reinforcement of various biodegradable composites for food packaging and biomedical applications [ 206 , 207 ]. It is reported that the addition of chitosan nanoparticles to biocomposites can significantly enhance their thermal, physical, mechanical, antimicrobial and structural features.…”

Fish waste is attracting growing interest as a new raw material for biopolymer production in different application fields, mainly in food packaging, with significant economic and environmental advantages. This review paper summarizes the recent advances in the valorization of fish waste for the preparation of biopolymers for food packaging applications. The issues related to fishery industry waste and fish by-catch and the potential for re-using these by-products in a circular economy approach have been presented in detail. Then, all the biopolymer typologies derived from fish waste with potential applications in food packaging, such as muscle proteins, collagen, gelatin, chitin/chitosan, have been described. For each of them, the recent applications in food packaging, in the last five years, have been overviewed with an emphasis on smart packaging applications. Despite the huge industrial potential of fish industry by-products, most of the reviewed applications are still at lab-scale. Therefore, the technological challenges for a reliable exploitation and recovery of several potentially valuable molecules and the strategies to improve the barrier, mechanical and thermal performance of each kind of biopolymer have been analyzed.

“…It is a natural material that has undergone widespread research in recent years. Most biopolymers, such as CS, are inherently weak regarding their physical, mechanical, and thermal attributes when compared to widely used petro-based polymers (i.e., polyethylene, polyvinyl alcohol, polystyrene) [ 77 ]. In the specific case of chitosan-based compounds, they become relevant because of their applications in food packaging and because they can be used in different ways [ 78 , 79 , 80 ].…”

The call to use biodegradable, eco-friendly materials is urgent. The use of biopolymers as a replacement for the classic petroleum-based materials is increasing. Chitosan and starch have been widely studied with this purpose: to be part of this replacement. The importance of proper physical characterization of these biopolymers is essential for the intended application. This review focuses on characterizations of chitosan and starch, approximately from 2017 to date, in one of their most-used applications: food packaging for chitosan and as an adsorbent agent of pollutants in aqueous medium for starch.
