“…It is estimated that by 2025, the world market for this acid could grow by more than 5.24%, reaching US$ 3.6 billion [112]. In recent years, a multitude of investigations have been carried out on the production of citric acid through fermentation processes, taking advantage of residues as carbon sources thanks to the biocatalyst action of microorganisms such as Aspergillus niger and Yarrowia lypolytica [106,113,114].…”

“…Among the new uses sought for it, its hydrophobic nature provides resistance to humidity when suspensions of lignin nanoparticles are applied to the surface of packaging papers. Considering the use of fractions obtained from agro-food wastes for the improvement of packaging from a circular economy approach, these improvements will be understood from various points of view, including not only resistance and functionalities but also sustainability according to partial and global life cycle assessments and techno-economic analyses to be performed all along the alternative packaging value-chain and their possible impact on food safety [106,[169][170][171][172][173].…”

To date, food plastic packaging has become widespread because it dramatically increases the shelf life of foods. However, social awareness of the negative effects of such a practice (emission of greenhouse gases, ubiquitous presence of nano- and microplastics, effects on the food chain, etc.) is growing. At the same time, cellulose-based materials like paper and cardboard have the notable advantage of their recyclability and the nature of their source. Other chemical compounds contained in plants and other living beings have great potential as components of cellulose-based packaging, making it possible to improve the mechanical, thermal and barrier properties of this key material in second-generation biorefineries. As the integrated biorefinery concept is a holistic view of the total conversion of biomass into energy, chemicals, materials, food and feed. Successful bio-based food packaging is able to replace the best plastic packaging and can be envisaged as a key factor for the expansion of the bioeconomy and the circular economy beyond the food sector, further integrating human activities in the geochemical cycles and, thus, boosting their sustainability.
