“…Chitosan created by deacetylating marine chitin is fantastic for packaging due to its high flexibility, reactivity, and water solubility [ 109 ]. All types of brown algae and some bacteria contain the marine biopolymer alginate, which gives their cell walls strength and flexibility [ 110 , 111 , 112 ] Red algae known as agarophytes are a subgroup of rhodophytes (red algae). In terms of agarophytes, the main commercial genera are Gelidium , Pterocladiella , Gelidiella , and Gracilaria .…”

Environmental concerns regarding the usage of nonrenewable materials are driving up the demand for biodegradable marine biopolymers. Marine biopolymers are gaining increasing attention as sustainable alternatives in various industries, including the food sector. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of marine biopolymers and their applications in the food industry. Marine sources are given attention as innovative resources for the production of sea-originated biopolymers, such as agar, alginate, chitin/chitosan, and carrageenan, which are safe, biodegradable, and are widely employed in a broad spectrum of industrial uses. This article begins by discussing the diverse source materials of marine biopolymers, which encompass biopolymers derived from seaweed and marine animals. It explores the unique characteristics and properties of these biopolymers, highlighting their potential for food applications. Furthermore, this review presents a classification of marine biopolymers, categorizing them based on their chemical composition and structural properties. This classification provides a framework for understanding the versatility and functionality of different marine biopolymers in food systems. This article also delves into the various food applications of marine biopolymers across different sectors, including meat, milk products, fruits, and vegetables. Thus, the motive of this review article is to offer a brief outline of (a) the source materials of marine biopolymers, which incorporates marine biopolymers derived from seaweed and marine animals, (b) a marine biopolymer classification, and (c) the various food applications in different food systems such as meat, milk products, fruits, and vegetables.

“…While literature related to in vivo degradation of chitosan is scarce, studies have shown that liver and kidney of living organisms are able to degrade the chitosan. In general, the rate and extent of biodegradation of chitosan has a linear relationship with the degree of deacetylation [111].…”

“…Alginate is a marine biopolymer found in all species of brown algae and some bacteria, where it provides flexibility and strength to the cell walls. Alginate is a long linear chain polymer made up of varying proportions and sequential arrangements of ( 14)-linked-ß-dmannuronate (Block M) and ( 14)-linked-l-guluronate (Block G) units [110][111][112]. Alginate is made up of G residues that are repeated (GGGGGG), M residues (MMMMMM), and alternating M and G residues (GMGMGM).…”

Marine sources are gaining popularity and attention as novel materials for manufacturing biopolymers such as proteins and polysaccharides. Due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxicity features, these biopolymers have been claimed to be beneficial in the development of food packaging materials. Several studies have thoroughly researched the extraction, isolation, and latent use of marine biopolymers in the fabrication of environmentally acceptable packaging. Thus, a review was designed to provide an overview of (a) the chemical composition, unique properties, and extraction methods of marine biopolymers; (b) the application of marine biopolymers in film and coating development for improved shelf-life of packaged foods; (c) production flaws and proposed solutions for better isolation of marine biopolymers; (d) methods of preparation of edible films and coatings from marine biopolymers; and (e) safety aspects. According to our review, these biopolymers would make a significant component of a biodegradable food packaging system, reducing the amount of plastic packaging used and resulting in considerable environmental and economic benefits.
