Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA), so far, is the most extensively researched and utilized
biodegradable aliphatic polyester in human history. Due to its merits, PLA is a leading …

Pectin is a structural heteropolysaccharide found ubiquitously in terrestrial plants. It finds
diverse food applications such as that of a gelling agent, stabilizer, and fat replacer. In the …

Pectin is one of the main components of the plant cell wall chemically constituted by poly α1–
4-galacturonic acids. According to its degree of esterification with methanol, pectin can be …

Environmental, economic, and safety challenges have provoked packaging scientists and
producers to partially substitute petrochemical‐based polymers with biodegradable ones …

Food needs a step ahead technology to store food fresh and safe for a more extended
period. At the same time, ecological awareness and consumers' demand for safe food and …

Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) can be synthesized from renewable bio‐derived monomers
and, as such, it is an alternative to conventional petroleum‐based polymers. Since PLA is a …
