“…Some of them are related to novel biocomposite preparation, mixing starch with plant extracts, essential oils, and other natural products to provide biological properties [115][116][117][118][119][120][121]. Another method has been through the film reinforcement with organic or inorganic nanoparticles (Ag ZnO, CuO) [122][123][124], nanoclays [125] or carbon nanotubes [126]. If a complete biodegradable/compostable film or coating would be desired, starch can be blended with polysaccharides, proteins, biodegradable polymers (PVA, PVP), and biopolyesters (PLA, PHB, PHBV, PCL, PBS, PBAT) [112,118,122,[127][128][129][130].…”

The use of polysaccharide-based materials presents an eco-friendly technological solution, by reducing dependence on fossil resources while reducing a product's carbon footprint, when compared to conventional plastic packaging materials. This review discusses the potential of polysaccharides as a raw material to produce multifunctional materials for food packaging applications. The covered areas include the recent innovations and properties of the polysaccharide-based materials. Emphasis is given to hemicelluloses, marine polysaccharides, and bacterial exopolysaccharides and their potential application in the latest trends of food packaging materials, including edible coatings, intelligent films, and thermo-insulated aerogel packaging.

Corn Starch‐Chitosan Proportion Affects Biodegradable Film Performance for Food Packaging Purposes

This work proposes an advance towards the scaling of biodegradable films based on corn starch and chitosan, considering the relevant film properties that condition their use for food packaging and their economic feasibility. The influence of corn starch: chitosan (CS:CH) proportion and chitosan molecular weight used in the formulation is also studied. Chitosan (CH) addition improves film forming dispersions (FFDs) stability stored under refrigerated conditions and enhances the film UV barrier properties and elongation at break, however material costs are higher. Films with higher starch content exhibited higher elastic modulus and tensile strength. Water vapor barrier, heat‐sealing capacity, and sealing resistance also increase with the corn starch (CS) proportion in film formulation. Taking into consideration the chitosan type used, the polymer‐plasticiser and polymer‐solvent interactions prevail and led to the development of more flexible materials in film formulations with low molecular weight chitosan (LMW‐CH). Meanwhile, polymer‐polymer interactions also became relevant in those obtained with MMW‐CH leading to resistant films. The obtained results indicate that composite films could be used in food packaging design, with those formulated with 75% CS and 25% medium molecular weight chitosan (MMW‐CH) being a good option considering both the film's properties as well as its economical feasibility.
