“…202,203 The use of renewable polymers as packaging materials is increasingly current, with starch gradually becoming the most relevant alternative for the development of packaging. [204][205][206][207][208][209][210][211][212][213] A major advantage is that starch-based films can be produced by thermal processing and casting, with casting being the most used method in the laboratory. 214 The main disadvantages of starch-based films are related to low mechanical strength, sensitivity and solubility in water and limited water vapor barrier properties.…”

The limited degradation of synthetic polymers used in food packaging when discarded in the environment is a major concern for society. Therefore, industry and academia have sought to develop biodegradable and eco-friendly materials for single-use in packaging. An interesting alternative for the food industry is biodegradable polymeric films, which is why different biopolymers have been used in the production of sustainable packaging. It is worth mentioning that the use of biodegradable polymers is one of the most successful innovations in the industry to address issues related to the environment. Among the available raw materials, starch extracted from different renewable sources is very promising for this purpose, due to its abundance, low-cost compared to other polymers and ability to produce non-toxic films. However, when used alone, pure starch has many limitations, which can be overcome by developing a mixture with other polymers (polymer blends), preferably from renewable and biodegradable sources, such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA). In this context, the absence of literature reviews evidencing the results of the application of films in foods led us to write this article, given the importance of polymer blends produced with different types of starch (cassava, corn, pea, potato, rice and wheat) and the PLA matrix. According to the results, it is clear that polymer blends based on PLA/Starch for food packaging are very promising, already being part of the industries solutions, aiming to minimize the large volume of plastic waste of petrochemical origin discarded in nature. Obviously, as with any technology, more research is needed to further improve the performance of the films, and while much research has made great strides, there are still limitations that prevent the commercialization of these materials.

“…Adding natural compounds decreases the melting temperature of starch-based polymeric films. [64] The interaction of natural polyphenols with the starch amylopectin chains changes the coupling forces of crystals by the intermolecular interaction with the polymer chains and hinders their alignment. In another study by Zhou et al [59] , the thermogravimetric analysis showed that adding cinnamon essential oil improved the thermal stability of cassava starch-based films.…”

Given the global environmental issues associated with petroleum-based packaging materials, developing green packaging films is a promising innovative approach to packaging food products. In this regard, starch films added with plant extracts and essential oils have been explored for different packaging types of food products. The availability of starch in nature makes starch films a cheap substitute for petroleum-based packaging material, thus reducing the impact on the environment, packaging costs, and complexity. Recent investigations emphasize identifying and isolating natural ingredients from different plants for use in starch-based green packaging. Plant extracts and essential oils influence the mechanical and barrier properties and impart antioxidant and antimicrobial properties to the developed films. These films show promising applications in the food industry. This review provides recent insights into the effects of plant extracts and essential oils on starch-based green packaging films' properties.

“…The biggest concern of starch-based film is high solubility in water, which when not effectively applied in food products release moisture over time, leading to degradation of the film over time. Marzlan et al (2022) and Jamróz et al (2022) reported the degradation of the film in soil for 10-14 days. This degradation can be slowed down with the increase of functional substances, such as curcumin, into the film materials (Erna et al, 2022).…”

The development of biodegradable packaging is a challenge, as conventional plastics have many advantages in terms of high flexibility, transparency, low cost, strong mechanical characteristics, and high resistance to heat compared with most biodegradable plastics. The quality of biodegradable materials and the research needed for their improvement for meat packaging were critically evaluated in this study. In terms of sustainability, biodegradable packagings are more sustainable than conventional plastics; however, most of them contain unsustainable chemical additives. Cellulose showed a high potential for meat preservation due to high moisture control. Polyhydroxyalkanoates and polylactic acid (PLA) are renewable materials that have been recently introduced to the market, but their application in meat products is still limited. To be classified as an edible film, the mechanical properties and acceptable control over gas and moisture exchange need to be improved. PLA and cellulose‐based films possess the advantage of protection against oxygen and water permeation; however, the addition of functional substances plays an important role in their effects on the foods. Furthermore, the use of packaging materials is increasing due to consumer demand for natural high‐quality food packaging that serves functions such as extended shelf‐life and contamination protection. To support the importance moving toward biodegradable packaging for meat, this review presented novel perspectives regarding ecological impacts, commercial status, and consumer perspectives. Those aspects are then evaluated with the specific consideration of regulations and perspective in the European Union (EU) for employing renewable and ecological meat packaging materials. This review also helps to highlight the situation regarding biodegradable food packaging for meat in the EU specifically.
