“…Numerous harmful microorganisms are prevalent in the human living environment, and activities of daily living can result in bacterial infections, posing a major threat to food safety and human health. − Currently, the bulk of available commercial antimicrobial substances come from petrochemicals or petroleum, either as organic or inorganic antimicrobial agents. These substances leave behind hazardous residues after usage, which harm the environment and can even result in drug resistance .…”

“…Natural substances called polyphenols derived from plants such as green tea, fruits, vegetables, and tree bark have significant antibacterial, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. , The extraction procedure of polyphenols is easy to use, environmentally friendly, and may safely be reintroduced into the ecosystem thereafter . It closely resembles the idea of sustainable green development. , Plant polyphenols already have a substantial impact on the food and healthcare sectors. Plant polyphenols including catechins, epigallocatechin gallate, and black wattle tannins have been found to have excellent resistance to Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the preparation of advanced anti-biofilm materials, and flavonoids are the main phenolic components used for the treatment of candidiasis .…”

Plant polyphenols' antibacterial capabilities are just beginning to be applied in the environment. In this study, solvent recovery and concentration techniques were used to achieve zero-waste extraction of pineapple peel polyphenol (PPP) powder on an industrial scale. For environmental sterilization, PPP antibacterial agents (PAAs) were created. Their physicochemical and antibacterial qualities were examined, and technical and financial analysis was done. The results showed that (1) among the major PPP components, protocatechuic acid content was the highest (48.90 mg/L), followed by quercetin dihydrate (17.56 mg/L); (2) PAA sprays passed the tests for physicochemical properties like pH and heat resistance; (3) at the 8 mg/mL concentration, PAA achieved 100% bacterial inhibition below 40 °C; and (4) the production cost of 8 mg/mL PAA spray was only $273.41/t at 100,000 t industrial scale. These findings might offer an application prospect in the development of renewable bacteriocins from fruit and vegetable waste materials.

Recently, academic research and industries have gained awareness about the economic, environmental, and social impacts of conventional plastic packaging and its disposal. This consciousness has oriented efforts towards more sustainable materials such as biopolymers, paving the way for the “green era” of food packaging. This review provides a schematic overview about polymers and blends of them, which are emerging as promising alternatives to conventional plastics. Focus was dedicated to biopolymers from renewable sources and their applications to produce sustainable, active packaging with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. In particular, the incorporation of plant extracts, food-waste derivatives, and nano-sized materials to produce bio-based active packaging with enhanced technical performances was investigated. According to recent studies, bio-based active packaging enriched with natural-based compounds has the potential to replace petroleum-derived materials. Based on molecular composition, the natural compounds can diversely interact with the native structure of the packaging materials, modulating their barriers, optical and mechanical performances, and conferring them antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Overall, the recent academic findings could lead to a breakthrough in the field of food packaging, opening the gates to a new generation of packaging solutions which will be sustainable, customised, and green.

“…Traditional methods such as heating, freezing or drying are effective but still inadequate in inhibiting microbial growth. Some researchers have incorporated antimicrobial agents into polymer films to obtain antimicrobial packaging that can inhibit the growth of microorganisms and also ensure food safety [ 9 , 10 ]. The existence of antimicrobial packaging largely extends the shelf-life of food products, but it does not prevent food spoilage, which can occur at any time and leaves consumers unable to judge the quality of the food.…”

The shortage of oil resources is currently a global problem. The use of renewable resources instead of non-renewable ones has become a hot topic of research in the eyes of scientists. In the food industry, there is a lot of interest in bio-based smart active packaging that meets the concept of sustainability and ensures safety. The packaging has antibacterial and antioxidant properties that extend the shelf life of food. Its ability to monitor the freshness of food in real time is also beneficial to consumers’ judgement of food safety. This paper summarises the main raw materials for the preparation of bio-based smart active packaging, including proteins, polysaccharides and composite materials. The current status of the preparation method of bio-based smart active packaging and its application in food preservation is summarised. The future development trend in the field of food packaging is foreseen, so as to provide a reference for the improvement of bio-based smart active packaging materials.
