Bionanocomposites are emerging as a pivotal innovation in sustainable food packaging, leveraging the strengths of biopolymers enhanced with nanoparticles for improved functionality. The increasing demand for sustainable packaging solutions, coupled with advancements in nanotechnology, has driven research in this field over the past decade. This review covers the full spectrum of developments in the field, from the classification and synthesis of bionanocomposites to their applications in food packaging and current research trends. A detailed trend analysis using Web of Science data highlighted the growth in bionanocomposite research, with over 17,000 articles published on this topic. Notably, more than 2000 of these articles focus specifically on packaging applications. This review also investigates the application trends for various food products, including fruits and vegetables, grains, meat, dairy products, bakery items, nuts, and oils. The review identifies a marked increase in publications related to bionanocomposite packaging since 2008. Notably, research on packaging applications has increasingly concentrated on fruits and vegetables, followed by meat, dairy products like cheese, and bakery products such as bread. A comprehensive analysis of research trends before 2010 and in 2024 underscores a shift from fundamental material science towards practical, real-world applications. This review provides valuable insights into the transformative potential of bionanocomposites for food packaging technologies and their role in advancing environmentally sustainable solutions.
