“…Cellulose and its derivatives are excellent candidates for indicator films because of their biocompatibility, biodegradability, safety and good film-forming properties (strength, toughness, flexibility and transparency), making them suitable for application in on-package indicator films. As shown in Table 1, indicator films prepared from cellulose and its derivatives, including CMC, 48 cellulose, 66,[103][104][105] cellulose acetate nanofibers, 49 cellulose nanofibers 63,106 and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, 58,107,108 have been reported in the literature. The purpose of incorporating cellulose or its derivatives in a composite film is to obtain a unique transparent and strength film, as summarized in Table 2.…”
