“…Therefore, many materials, natural or not, could be inserted in its formulation to give those special properties. Moreover, researchers are obtaining them from food waste, essential oils, extracts, and others [ 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. However, the use of a matrix, which already is a source of bioactive compounds, may work in this process.…”

Packages from renewable sources have been the focus of many studies, due to the consumer needs for high-quality food, environmental concern related to the inadequate discard of packaging, low percentage of packaging recycling, and starch application by a viable method. Thus, this work aimed to develop bioactive packages based on white, red, and black rice starch and analyze the influence of macromolecule and plasticizer type, even its blends, on the characteristics of films. Films were characterized by color, opacity, thickness, water solubility, water vapor permeability, and bioactive properties. The use of rice starch in the development of edible and/or biodegradable films was feasible, with all the formulations tested presenting a homogeneous matrix and the films obtained varying in hue, to the naked eye, as a function of the starch used. Variation of the type of starch and plasticizer, as well as the concentrations of the same, resulted in films with differences in all studied properties. Films prepared with 5% of starch and 30% of sorbitol showed phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity, using the DPPH and ABTS methods, indicating that these can be considered bioactive packages and also suitable for food application.

“…This allows the appearance of the product inside to be seen by consumers and is appealing in the product design perspective [ 16 , 17 ]. Along with their lightness, low cost, and ease of printing, polymers have been serving as an important class of materials in food packaging [ 18 ].…”

“…This reduces the effectiveness of these food packages to serve as a passive barrier to combat the adverse effects caused by the surrounding to the packaged food. To tackle this problem, one strategy is to control the atmosphere inside the food package by putting a sachet of chemicals (e.g., ethylene scavengers, carbon dioxide emitters, oxygen scavengers, and humidity adsorbers) inside the package [ 18 ]. This approach greatly enhances the efficiency of the polymer-generated package to extend the shelf life of the food product even without the use of additional complex technologies and film modification [ 18 ].…”

“…An alternative to this approach is the incorporation of active agents into polymer-generated packages. This approach of active packaging, in which the package interacts actively with the environment and/or the food during food preservation, has drawn extensive interest over the last several decades [ 18 ]. Until now, different polymer-generated active food packaging films have been developed [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ].…”

Polymeric films for active food packaging have been playing an important role in food preservation due to favorable properties including high structural flexibility and high property tunability. Over the years, different polymeric active packaging films have been developed. Many of them have found real applications in food production. This article reviews, using a practical perspective, the principles of designing polymeric active packaging films. Different factors to be considered during materials selection and film generation are delineated. Practical considerations for the use of the generated polymeric films in active food packaging are also discussed. It is hoped that this article cannot only present a snapshot of latest advances in the design and optimization of polymeric active food packaging films, but insights into film development to achieve more effective active food packaging can be attained for future research.

This study focused on the development and optimization of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) biobased active packaging films by incorporation with grape seed oil, alpha‐tocopherol, and rice husk. In the compound and film production step during extrusion for biobased active packaging film two variables, the antioxidant substance concentration (Grape seed oil, 0.5–4%; alpha‐tocopherol, 0.5–4%; rice husk, 1–5%), TPS concentration (60–90%) were optimized through response surface methodology (RSM) for highest tensile strength (MPa) and antioxidant activity (%) as responses. Among the resulting films, samples containing grape seed oil in particular exhibited an optimal balance, showcasing robust mechanical properties alongside potent antioxidant characteristics. Comprehensive analyses encompassing thickness, density, color, opacity, FTIR spectroscopy, total phenolic content, and energy consumption were conducted to assess the films' viability for potential deployment within the food industry. Based on the findings, it was determined that these biobased active packaging films made of TPS/PBAT held promise in safeguarding food products.
