Due to the severe waste plastics pollution issues, fabricating biodegradable films as
substitutes for plastic has been a pursuit of modern scientists for the past few years. UV …

The anthropologic impact on climate has reached a critical level given that society relies on
non-renewable fossil resources for energy. Thus, to alleviate this, lignins can play a key role …

Ultraviolet (UV) blocking films are an emerging technology currently being utilized in food
packaging applications. UV radiation can cause photochemical reactions in food products …

Cellulose extracted from the outer capsule of tunicates has received much attention from
researchers because of its excellent physicochemical properties. In addition, its …

Packaging is an integral part of the protection of food from unwanted changes during
storage, processing and transportation. There are several reasons for the spoilage of food …

The increasing concerns about plastic pollution and climate change have encouraged
research into bioderived and biodegradable materials. Much attention has been focused on …

One of the major objectives of food industry is to develop low-cost biodegradable food
packaging films with optimal physicochemical properties, allowing for their large-scale …

The widespread use of starch-based films is hindered by inadequate tensile strength and
high water sensitivity. To address these limitations, a novel starch film with a dynamic …

In this study, the base film (CSL) was prepared by blending tunicate cellulose nanocrystals
(TCNCs) extracted from tunicate shells, with sodium alginate (SA) and alkali lignin (AL) …

Hemicellulose plays a key role in both the production of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and their
properties as suspensions and films. While the use of enzymatic and chemical pre …
