“…Metal and glass possess excellent barrier properties and have a longstanding history in food packaging. However, metal packaging is relatively costly and exhibits chemical instability, while glass packaging is susceptible to breakage and carries a significant weight, which may result in increased transportation costs and risks (Gallucci et al 2021;Channa et al 2022;Joshi et al 2024). One way to solve these problems is to develop biodegradable polymers for usage in environmentally friendly food packaging.…”

Chitosan can serve as a natural alternative to petroleum-based components in food packaging; however, the mechanical and barrier properties of pure chitosan film possess certain limitations. This paper presents a comprehensive review on the mechanical and barrier properties of composite films formed by combining chitosan-based films with plasticizers, polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids. These composite films often exhibit superior mechanical strength and enhanced barrier performance compared to pure chitosan film, thereby expanding the potential applications of chitosan in food packaging. Chitosan represents an ideal raw material for developing innovative biofilms that can cater to diverse packaging requirements for various food products while offering promising prospects for broad application.
