Recent advances in cellulose-based hydrophobic food packaging

Biodegradable biopolymers for active packaging: demand, development and directions

“…56 Surface modifications of cellulose may improve properties which hinder the development of cellulose-based materials, such as sensitivity to water and humidity. 57 Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and nanoparticles are also commonly used in active packaging. CNCs can be derived from organic waste and are used to improve tensile strength, water resistance, thermal resistance and barrier properties when incorporated into bioplastic films.…”

Sustainable Applications of Nanofibers in Agriculture and Water Treatment: A Review

“…Accordingly, packaging films can control pathogens and improve the quality and shelf life of food by acting as carriers of antimicrobial, antioxidant, and active compounds [48]. The use of nanofibers in food packaging may include different topics as presented in Table 5, which focused on using nanofibers for active-intelligent food packaging [113,120,122], as an active food packaging system [97], nanofibers containing biodegradable polymers [121], nanofibers for food freshness indicators [113], cellulose-based hydrophobic materials for food packaging [123], nanofibers for electrochemical DNA biosensors [124], and functionalized nanomaterials driven antimicrobial food packaging [117].…”

Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Detection in ppb Levels at Room Temperature with a Printed, Flexible, Disposable In2O3 NPs‐Based Sensor for IoT Food Packaging Applications

“…[ 15 ] Consequently, H 2 S sensors can be valuable tools for various IoT applications such as smart indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring, smart healthcare, and smart food packaging. Noteworthy, the global market size of food packaging is expected to reach USD$464 billion by 2027, [ 16 ] signifying the application's high practical relevance.…”

“…[15] Consequently, H 2 S sensors can be valuable tools for various IoT applications such as smart indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring, smart healthcare, and smart food packaging. Noteworthy, the global market size of food packaging is expected to reach USD$464 billion by 2027, [16] signifying the application's high practical relevance.Until now, most studies on monitoring the sulfur-rich food freshness in the food packaging applications have relied on colorimetric-based indicators. [17][18][19][20][21] The H 2 S gas released by food changes the indicators' color attached to the package, showing that the food is spoiled.…”
