“…Functionalities of films are tailored by advanced technologies, such as nanomaterials in the form of nanofillers, such as nanotubes or nanowhiskers [26]. The industry manufacturing the polypackages has emerged to reinforce natural fibers, such as flax, hemp, banana, pineapple, sisal, kenaf, and coir, as fillers for better-composting properties [27][28][29]. Therefore, polymers can be produced from renewable sources or synthetic materials via the biosynthesis route [6].…”

Edible coatings, including green polymers are used frequently in the food industry to improve and preserve the quality of foods. Green polymers are defined as biodegradable polymers from biomass resources or synthetic routes and microbial origin that are formed by mono- or multilayer structures. They are used to improve the technological properties without compromising the food quality, even with the purpose of inhibiting lipid oxidation or reducing metmyoglobin formation in fresh meat, thereby contributing to the final sensory attributes of the food and meat products. Green polymers can also serve as nutrient-delivery carriers in meat and meat products. This review focuses on various types of bio-based biodegradable polymers and their preparation techniques and applications in meat preservation as a part of active and smart packaging. It also outlines the impact of biodegradable polymer films or coatings reinforced with fillers, either natural or synthesized, via the green route in enhancing the physicochemical, mechanical, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties for extending shelf-life. The interaction of the package with meat contact surfaces and the advanced polymer composite sensors for meat toxicity detection are further considered and discussed. In addition, this review addresses the research gaps and challenges of the current packaging systems, including coatings where green polymers are used. Coatings from renewable resources are seen as an emerging technology that is worthy of further investigation toward sustainable packaging of food and meat products.

“…On the other hand, in recent years, researchers have employed a bottom-up assembly method to polymerize CNC or CNF with various polymer compounds, resulting in the formation of highly ordered 2D nanonetwork structures. Flores-Jeronimo et al 18 utilized banana stems to prepare CNP and cellulose fibers through acid−base treatment, subsequently creating a film with excellent mechanical properties suitable for food packaging using a solution pouring method (Figure 4). These 2D structured nanowebs and nanoplatelets have garnered significant attention in the fields of functional films, papers, and coatings.…”

With the increasing demand for coatings toward improved comprehensive performance and the implementation of sustainable development strategies, nanocellulose (NC), a renewable and easily biodegradable biomaterial, has been identified as a promising and potential functional/reinforcement additive during the preparation of composite coating materials. Based on recent research, this paper reviews NC itself and its emerging application areas of functionality/enhancement in composite coating materials. In this review, NC materials are divided into two categories of pure NC materials and NC-based composite materials to make a more comprehensive induction of these nanometer-scale materials. The main existing forms and typical examples of NC in various dimensions are introduced followed by a generalization of its preparation and modification methods. NC has been widely utilized to render functionality or strengthen the performance of composite coating materials via its illustrious performance and unparalleled reticulate structure. On one hand, this paper discusses the scientific investigation advances on the multifunctional properties of NC or modified NC that endow coatings with hydrophobicity, dispersibility, corrosion resistance, self-healing, and antibacterial properties. On the other hand, the latest research on polyurethane, acrylate, alkyd ester (oil-modified polyester), and epoxy coatings prepared by utilizing NC as an enhancer is presented.

“…Banana crop residues have been comprehensively reviewed for potential applications in sewage sectors (as dyes and heavy metals adsorbents), electronic (for the synthesis of supercapacitor electrodes), renewable energy (bioethanol production), and pharmaceuticals and biomedical industries (antiprotozoan, antifungal, and antiviral agent) 26–29 . Many researchers have isolated and characterized cellulose‐derived fibers, such as cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), cellulose microfibers (CMFs) and cellulose nanoparticles, from various parts of banana plants, including rachis, bract, pseudo stem, and fruit peels 16,30–36 . However, there is no research on CMF obtained from banana midrib residues, particularly Musa Saba' species and its application as a reinforcing agent.…”

Two main disadvantages of starch‐based biofilms are their low mechanical strength and high hydrophobicity. This work investigated incorporation of cellulose microfibers (CMF) with a range of CMF loading (i.e., 0, 0.5, and 1.0 wt% of CMF) as fillers to improve the mechanical properties of starch‐based biofilm. CMFs (average diameter = 75 μm) were isolated from midrib of Musa Saba' banana residue using chemical treatments of steam explosion alkaline treatment, acid‐chlorite treatment, and acid hydrolysis. The starch‐based biofilm showed improved tensile strength (32.5%), Young's Modulus (55.4%), opacity (23.7%), crystallinity (54.2%), and reduction in elongation (27%) with 1.0 wt% CMF loading compared with biofilm without CMF. The film's mechanical properties improvement is further supported by the even filler dispersion within the film matrix shown in field emission scanning electron microscope micrographs. Active packaging containing the antimicrobial compound of myricetin was incorporated into the 1.0 wt% CMF reinforced film to produce SC1M, which showed the fastest release of myricetin in 95% ethanol (fatty acid simulant), followed by 3% acetic acid (acidic simulant) and slowest in distilled water (aqueous simulant). CMF derived from banana midrib residue can be a viable bioreinforcement component for developing biofilms for fatty food packaging, which protects against humidity, oxygen, temperature, and light‐induced deterioration.
