“…The standard paper, on the other hand, cannot be used frequently due to the reduced moisture barrier, which leads to microbial contamination. Furthermore, it lacks mechanical strength, which is required for transportation and storage [24]. There have also been several reports that show safety concerns and toxicity risks.…”

“…The research stated that abietic acid (AA) and dehydroabietic acid (DHA) of contaminants usually to be reported in paper packaging were found to be toxic and potentially genotoxic at higher concentrations. The food contamination risk by the use of paper-based material in its packaging remains on the table, despite the few reported studies of some sort of paper in a treated form that is widely used for various levels of product packaging including foods [24].…”

Nowadays, there are dominant scientific breakthroughs to advance the packaging industry to identify innovative and emerging fruitful results for making the food packaging systems, in particular, more efficient, resilient, and sustainable. Therefore, friendliness packaging research has been gaining momentum, thanks to global environmental awareness, and also consumer ecological consciousness, and leading companies are committing to a more holistic worldview of packaging in response to more sustainable processes to reduce pollution and any depletion of resources. High-yielding and cost-effective production and design of packaging, involving synthetic materials use reduction and development of new bio-based packaging materials, are very much part of this holistic approach. Thus, in comparison with petroleum-based materials, potential bio-based materials may have benefits for all agents comprised: the producers, customers as well as the whole environment. This chapter explores a review of relative topics across all disciplines that could accelerate understanding toward this goal. It walks through conventional materials, and then important natural and synthetic polymers from the context of food packaging. Moreover, it provides an overview of the performance of bioplastics and their limitations. State-of-the-art main trends on green biocomposites thereof, their potential to transform the food industry, are also herein considered.

“…Nowadays, food packaging plays an important role in contributing to our everyday lives and many industries, especially horticulture production. The packaging can improve shelf life, minimize postharvest loss and ensure product quality while transportation (Alhendi and Choudhary 2013 ; Verma et al 2021 ; Fernandez et al 2022 ). The current trend of food packaging development also focuses on antibacterial packaging that can extend the shelf-life and maintain the quality of food products (Chawla et al 2020 ).…”

To avoid bacterial and viral infections on food products, the use of antibacterial and antiviral packaging offers great benefit to the food industry. In this study, the coating of paper packaging with silver-decorated magnetic particles (Ag@Fe 3 O 4 ) was developed. The Ag@Fe 3 O 4 was prepared by a facile and environmentally friendly method using extracted spent coffee grounds (ex-SCG). The effects of Ag@Fe 3 O 4 content on properties of coated paper were investigated. The overall properties of coated paper improved when the Ag@Fe 3 O 4 content increased up to 0.15%w/v. An increase in tensile strength of 154.01% and a decrease in water vapor permeability of 48.50% were found in coated paper with 0.15%w/v Ag@Fe 3 O 4 . Furthermore, the coated paper also exhibited the synergistic effect on antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ). The release of metal ions in food simulants and kinetic release parameters were also studied. The release of silver ions and ferrous ions in food simulants met the requirement of overall migration limit of the European Standard. The paper coated with 0.15%w/v Ag@Fe 3 O 4 had better capabilities to maintain quality and extend shelf-life of tomatoes. The obtained Ag@Fe 3 O 4 coated paper is promising for bioactive food packaging to retain food freshness.

“…Polymers are progressively replacing the conventional materials in packaging applications because of their lightweight, ease of processing, low cost, and so forth. 1 As one of the typical thermoplastic polyester materials, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has been widely used in the packaging field due to its excellent mechanical properties, better economic practicability, high transparency and solvent resistance. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] However, ordinary bottle-grade PET is only suitable for packaging low-temperature products, such as water, carbonated drinks and similar products.…”

In this paper, a series of poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-2,6-naphthalate) (PETN) (co)polyesters with different naphthalene ring contents were synthesized via a two-step transesterification and polycondensation. The effects of the monomer compositions on the sequence distribution, crystallization, mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties of the (co)polymers were investigated systematically. The results showed that the introduction of naphthalene ring units (NDC) changed the sequence length of the PETN and disrupted the orderly arrangement of the PETN molecular chains, thus affecting the aggregated structure and properties of the copolymer. When the NDC content was less than 30%, the PETN copolymers displayed good ductility and higher yield strength comparable to PET, and the heat distortion temperature (HDT), thermal stability properties, and barrier properties of the copolymer were also improved. In addition, the diffusion kinetics of water and oxygen molecules in the (co)polymer were investigated by the MS program simulation software. The differences in gas barrier properties of the different PETN (co)polymers were explained at the molecular level. This study provides a systematic theoretical basis and comprehensive practical guidance for the preparation of high-performance copolyester materials.
