“…Food packaging is the last line of defense against insect infestation of the finished product. Insect‐resistant or ‐repellent packaging has been investigated as a plausible measure for controlling insect invasion (Mohan and others ). Coating and microencapsulation technologies have been employed in developing insect‐repellent food packaging materials.…”

The insect-repelling effect of cinnamon oil incorporated into LDPE films was more effective with microencapsulation. The system developed in this research with LDPE film may also be extended to other food-packaging films where the same coating platform can be used. This platform is interchangeable and easy to use for the delivery of insect-repelling agents. The films can protect a wide variety of food products from invasion by the Indian meal moth.

“…The capability of two stored‐product insects to penetrate off the HDPE films coated with protein‐enriched pea flour solution was investigated by Mohan et al . It was observed that adults of two insects could penetrate the HDPE films coated with protein at 0, 1, and 5% levels, but did not penetrate the films coated with 10% protein level.…”

Films of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) incorporated with different nanoparticles, ZnO or Ag, were prepared to protect food products from the stored-product insect pests. The developed composites were irradiated at different radiation doses and the associated properties were investigated in terms of gel content percent, tensile mechanical properties, thermal properties, and morphology. The possible application of the irradiated products in food industry via the insect pest test was investigated. The gel content percentage of the irradiated HDPE films loaded with ZnO and Ag nanoparticles demonstrated higher values than those of unirradiated unloaded films and unirradiated loaded HDPE. The mechanical measurements indicated significant increments by loading with nanoparticles as well as by irradiation. The tensile strength raised up to about 177 and 158% by adding 2% ZnO and Ag, respectively. Conversely, the elongation percentage was decreased by increasing nanoparticle concentration and by radiation dose. Thermogravimetric analysis elaborated that the thermal stability of the nanocomposites was lesser than that of HDPE unloaded films, yet improved by irradiation. The insect pest test revealed that the adults of Sitophilus granarius could not penetrate the loaded and irradiated HDPE film. The most efficient formulation was reported for the HDPE films incorporated with 2% Ag irradiated with a dose of 75 kGy. J. VINYL ADDIT.TECHNOL., 25:E120-E129, 2019.

“…Silica gel, N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET), neem, citronella and protein-enriched pea flour also showed repellent properties against insects when applied on the packaging materials (Hou et al, 2004;Mohan, Sivakumar, Venkatesh, & Raghavan, 2007;Watters, 1966;Wong et al, 2005). Despite the success of the abovementioned systems, further work is necessary to develop biodegradable packaging systems with controlled release of insect repellent compounds.…”
