Chitosan is a biodegradable biocompatible polymer derived from natural renewable
resources with numerous applications in various fields, and one of which is the area of …

There is increasing research towards the substitution of petrochemicals by sustainable
components. Biopolymers such as proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids derive from a variety …

This review summarizes recent development of functional materials to improve the barrier
properties of paperboard with emphasis on bio‐based polymers. Focus is directed to novel …

Whey and zein protein are byproducts of the food industries and have good film making
properties. Single and laminated films were produced from zein protein and whey protein …

The purpose of the current research was to study κ-carrageenan degradation behavior
under thermal treatment, and its influence on chitosan κ-carrageenan film properties. A …

Edible bilayer films prepared using an additional of zein (Z) layer casted on the corn-wheat
(CW) starch films were prepared and characterized in terms of colour, thickness, water …

The objective of this study was to determine the properties of a new active packaging film
developed by the addition of mulberry leaves polysaccharides (MLP) into carboxymethyl …

Interest in polymer technology based on biodegradable and edible films has increased
dramatically, in hopes of creating a circular economy with little to no environmental impact …

With the aim of achieving 'tailor‐made'chitosan films, the effects of several variables on the
properties of chitosan films were studied. These variables were chitosan concentration and …

Whey protein is an excellent barrier material, potentially providing the low oxygen
permeability and water vapour transmission rate required for packaging materials for …
