Polysaccharides for Biodegradable Packaging Materials: Past, Present, and Future (Brief Review)

Abstract: The ecological problems emerging due to accumulation of non-biodegradable plastics are becoming more and more urgent. This problem can be solved by the development of biodegradable materials which will replace the non-biodegradable ones. Among numerous approaches in this field, there is one proposing the use of polysaccharide-based materials. These polymers are biodegradable, non-toxic, and obtained from renewable resources. This review opens discussion about the application of polysaccharides for the creation… Show more

“…The TOPAS software (version 5.0, Bruker AXS GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany, 2012) was employed to compute the relative crystallinity of the films. The formula for estimating the relative crystallinity (3) To determine the moisture content, the initial weight of a test film (50 mm × 20 mm) was measured using a four-scale electronic weighing balance. The film was then dried at 105 • C until a constant weight was reached.…”

“…Specifically, using natural ingredients derived from resources such as proteins, lipids, or polysaccharides offers great potential for producing biodegradable films. Key polysaccharide components used in preparing edible films include rice flour or starch, chitosan, pullulan, alginate, carrageenan, modified cellulose, pectin, gellan gum, xanthan gum, and others [3]. Among these polysaccharides, rice flour and starch have emerged as appealing options for creating environmentally friendly films.…”

“…The interest in biodegradable packaging materials arises from the need to reduce the use of environmentally non-degradable plastics. Over the past 50 years, the food industry has employed various synthetic plastics, leading to environmental problems that concern consumers and all participants in the food production chain [1,2]. As a result, consumers are increasingly demanding natural and synthetic compound-free foods.…”
