“…On the other hand, starch is biosynthesized as a storage material in higher plants and has been extensively employed in diverse food applications due to its edible and biodegradable nature. Moreover, its versatility and environmentally friendly characteristics make it a preferred choice in various packaging materials (Zhang et al 2023;Nath et al 2023;Ekrem Parlak et al 2024). Structurally, starch is a complex polysaccharide comprising two main components: amylose and amylopectin.…”

“…It stands out as a linear polymer composed of repeating D-glucose units. Its distinct structure is characterized by high crystallinity and exceptional thermal and chemical stability (Angel et al 2022;Perera et al 2023;Wang et al 2023b;Zhang et al 2023;Nath et al 2023;Ekrem Parlak et al 2024). Moreover, cellulose's hydrophilic and biocompatible nature makes it a promising material for food packaging, offering significant potential for innovative and sustainable packaging solutions (Angel et al 2022;Wang et al 2023b;Sharma et al 2024).…”

In response to escalating concerns about environmental pollution from conventional plastic packaging, there is a growing interest in ecological and sustainable materials for food packaging. Consequently, biopolymer-based electrospun materials, particularly polysaccharides such as chitosan (CH), starch, and cellulose, have emerged as promising alternatives to synthetic ones due to their remarkable barrier properties and mechanical strength. Moreover, following the trend of employing polysaccharides as ecological and sustainable solutions for packaging materials, natural colorants have also been recognized as safer alternatives to synthetic dyes, addressing concerns about potential adverse effects on human health and the environment. These natural colorants add color to food packaging and enhance food freshness, possibly extending shelf life and promoting consumers' perception of food quality and safety. Therefore, this review summarizes recent advancements in fabricating and characterizing electrospun materials based on polysaccharides and natural colorants for sustainable food packaging. It explores various electrospinning techniques and highlights the incorporation of natural colorants, including bacterial pigments, for active and intelligent packaging applications. Moreover, it emphasizes the increasing role of the biobased industry in developing sustainable packaging materials with bioactive coloration. Lastly, the review addresses challenges, opportunities, and future research directions. Graphical Abstract

The recent outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) highlights the critical need for rapid, sensitive, and accurate virus detection methods to prevent and manage pandemics. Among the available sensing methods, photonic biosensors have emerged as a forefront technology, characterized by their high sensitivity, minimal analyte requirements, and suitability for miniaturization, making them ideal for point‐of‐care applications in virus detection. This review comprehensively summarizes the recent progress of photonic biosensor technologies, focusing on wavelength shift and luminescence‐based mechanisms. Their operational principles, general configurations, and the challenges associated with these technologies are looked into. An overview of the material developments used in photonic biosensors, encompassing organic, inorganic, and hybrid composite‐based materials is further presented. The discussion extends to surface functionalization using biorecognition elements, including DNA/RNA, aptamers, and antibodies, to craft the specificity of the photonic biosensors for viruses. Ultimately, the importance of a multidisciplinary approach is emphasized in developing new materials architecture, biological receptors, and modifications to photonic methods, aiming to realize better biosensors for virus detection with ultra‐high sensitivity, rapid response, and excellent selectivity.

The rising demand for sustainable and antimicrobial packaging materials has fuelled innovations in polymer‐based solutions, especially in the preservation of fresh fruit to reduce food waste and enhance food safety. This review delves into the advancement and refinement of nanocomposites based on polylactic acid (PLA) for sustainable antimicrobial fruit packaging, emphasising the synergistic effects of combining PLA with nanofillers and antimicrobial agents, such as metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, plant extracts and essential oils (EOs) and carbon nanomaterial. By elucidating the synergistic effects that emerge from these combinations, this review examines the ability to enhance mechanical and antibacterial properties of PLA, followed by a review of the recent changes in sustainable fruit packaging solutions that integrate technological features and environmental considerations. Ultimately, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements in PLA‐based antimicrobial packaging, offering insights on the environmental benefits of integrating antimicrobial functionality into PLA‐based materials and the future of sustainable packaging for fruit preservation.
