Paper-and paperboard-based materials are alternatives to petroleum-based plastics in food
packaging but unsuitable for their poor moisture and oil resistance. In this sense, fluorinated …

In the present study, RE presented higher antioxidant capacity and higher content of total
phenolic compounds than GTE. While the main phenolic compounds identified in RE were …

Food packaging (FP) is essential for preserving food quality, safety, and extending shelf‐life.
However, growing concerns about the environmental and health impacts of conventional …

This study aims to develop a new soluble oxidized starch-based nonionic antibacterial
polymer (OCSI) featuring high antibacterial activity and non-leachability by grafting …

In the context of transitioning toward a more sustainable use of natural resources, the
application of lignin to substitute commonly utilized petroleum-based plastics can play a key …

A mixture of trifluoroacetic acid: trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFA: TFAA) was used to dissolve
chitin from shrimp shells. Free-standing films were prepared by blending the chitin solution …

Novel types of food packaging materials that exhibit prominent properties and are sufficiently
environment-friendly have been continuously designed, reflecting an ongoing trend. This …

In this work, a nontoxic crosslinking agent, citric acid (CA), was used to crosslink glycerol-
plasticized SSPS films via a heat activated reaction. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy …

Although biopolymers are currently considered as advantageous materials for food-
packaging applications, their poor tensile strength, flexibility and barrier properties limit their …

Post-harvest loss of fruits and vegetables, and health risks and environmental impact of
current plastic packaging warrant new biodegradable packaging. To this end, cellulosic …
