Biopolymer films and the effects of added lipids, nanoparticles and antimicrobials on their mechanical and barrier properties: a review

Abstract: Summary Packaging made from biodegradable biopolymers such as proteins, polysaccharides and lipids is a promising alternative to synthetic polymers. Films made from these biopolymers exhibit certain disadvantages in terms of their mechanical, barrier and physicochemical properties. Plasticisers, nanoparticles, lipids and antimicrobial compounds can be added to them to improve these properties. The tendency of biopolymer films to brittleness can be mitigated by adding plasticisers and/or nanoparticles. These fi… Show more

“…Particle size, one of the important physical characteristics of composites, depends on the volume of the particles (Castro-rosas et al, 2016). The size distribution of the SCOHs and SCOHs-Ca complexes was determined by DLS and shown in Fig.…”

“…Recently, biodegradable films made of biopolymers have become more attractive for food packaging as an alternative to typical commercial plastic packaging [ 6 ]. Many types of biopolymers such as corn starch, wheat gluten, chitosan, soy, and whey proteins have been used for biodegradable packaging.…”

“…However, those products can generate substantial waste disposal problems due to their lack of biodegradability. A lot of research and development activities have been carried out to make cellulose-based materials; these have achieved advantages such as biodegradability and barrier properties for packaging (Castro-Rosas et al 2016;Shi et al 2016;Urbina et al 2016;Zhang et al 2016;Chen et al 2017;Ferrer et al 2017;Hubbe et al 2017). Four types of barrier performance often studied relative to packaging film requirements include grease and water resistance, as well as oxygen and water vapor barrier properties, as shown in Fig.…”
