“…Current research has studied the innovation of edible film as a food packaging material to minimize plastic usage for ease of disposal management and environmental protection (Abdollahi et al, 2012;Galus and Kadzinska, 2015). Edible films are consumable, convenient, and act as barriers to decrease the permeability of water, gases, and flavor compounds to increase the shelf life of food products (Brunazzi et al, 2014;Salgado et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2018). Chitosan film is a non-toxic biopolymer that is commonly used in fruits, vegetables, and meat product packaging (Falguera et al, 2011;Suput et al, 2015).…”

Background. Biodegradable food packaging has improved in quality with recent research incorporating natural extracts for functionality purposes. This research aims to develop chitosan film with Chrysanthemum morifolium essential oil to improve the shelf life of fresh raw chicken and beef. Materials and methods. 1.5% (w/v) chitosan films with Chrysanthemum morifolium essential oil (0% to 6% (v/v)) were produced through homogenization, the casting of a film solution in a petri dish and convection drying. The edible film was evaluated in terms of its physical (color, thickness, water vapor permeability), mechanical (puncture strength, tensile strength, elongation at break) and chemical properties (antioxidant assay, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)). Results. With an increasing concentration of Chrysanthemum morifolium in the chitosan film, the test values of physical properties such as tensile strength, puncture force, and elongation at break declined significantly. However, the thickness, water permeability, and color profile (L*, a*, b*) values of the chitosan film increased. Similarly, the scavenging effect of antioxidant assay increased (from 4.97% to 18.63%) with a rise in Chrysanthemum morifolium concentration. 2%, 3%, and 4% of Chrysanthemum morifolium in the chitosan film showed a significant inhibition zone ranging from 2.67 mm to 3.82 mm against Staphylococcus aureus, a spoilage bacterium that is commonly found in chicken and beef products. The storage and pH tests showed that 4% of Chrysanthemum morifolium in the film maintained pH level (safe to consume), and the shelf life was extended from 3 days to 5 days of meat storage. Conclusion. This study demonstrated that the incorporation of 4% (v/v) Chrysanthemum morifolium extract into 1.5% (w/v) chitosan film extends the storage duration of raw meat products noticeably by reducing Staphylococcus aureus activity. Therefore, it increases the quality of the edible film as an environmentally friendly food packaging material so that it can act as a substitute for the use of plastic bags. Future studies will be conducted on improving the tensile strength of the edible film to increase the feasibility of using it in the food industry. In addition, the microstructure and surface morphology of the edible film can be further determined.

“…However, there is no functionality without communication. The concept of food packaging concerns a dualistic system: On the one side, every food packaging is expected to preserve packaged foods against thermal leaps, environmental moisture, and mechanical damage (Brunazzi, 2019). A package must efficiently and affordably meet a variety of requirements; as a result, a modern food package must be optimized and integrated into the food supply chain (Grumezescu & Holban, 2018).…”

This study investigates the influence of product packaging design on consumer purchasing behavior within the food processing industry of Metro Baguio, comprising Baguio City and its contiguous municipalities. The research aims to identify the specific packaging elements that significantly impact consumer purchasing decisions and examine the effects of various packaging attributes on consumers' choices in this region. The study encompasses packaging color, typography, visuals and mascots, and packaging format as key elements of interest. The significance of this study lies in its potential to elevate consumer perceived value of products through innovative packaging design and technology adoption within Metro Baguio's food processing sector. By embracing contemporary packaging practices, local food entrepreneurs can enhance their products' marketability and consumer impact. Using a descriptive research design and quantitative analysis, data was collected through a structured visual questionnaire. The findings highlight the preference for visually engaging packaging designs, particularly those incorporating mascots and emotive visuals. Positive responses to packaging colors emphasize their role in creating favorable impressions. The study also underscores the importance of transparent and accurate product information and visuals' influence on purchase intent. To optimize packaging's impact, local food processing businesses are encouraged to collaborate with young designers to create emotionally resonant packaging designs. Modern designs that resonate with the current generation can enhance emotional engagement, leading to stronger brand-consumer relationships, increased product desirability, and higher sales. Additionally, market research should inform packaging color choices to align with consumer emotions and cultural associations. Providing transparent and accurate information on packaging fosters trust while visually engaging images to enhance visibility and purchase intent. Prioritizing safe and eco-friendly packaging materials reflects consumer values and enhances brand perception and sustainability efforts.
