“…The exfoliated nanocomposites are formed when the polymer chains penetrate into the arranged and randomly dispersed filler layers in the polymer matrix (Ludueña et al 2007). These structures are obtained after filler loses its layered structure and is isolated into single sheets within the constant polymer phase due to the strong chemical interactions between the polymer and the filler (Turan et al 2018). Exfoliation is the best way to obtain an ideal interaction between the filler and polymer matrix (Adame and Beall 2009;Azeredo 2009).…”

Biobased polymers are of great interest due to the release of tension on non-renewable petroleum-based polymers for environmental concerns. However, biobased polymers usually have poor mechanical and barrier properties when used as the main component of coatings and films, but they can be improved by adding nanoscale reinforcing agents (nanoparticles - NPs or fillers), thus forming nanocomposites. The nano-sized components have a larger surface area that favors the filler-matrix interactions and the resulting material yield. For example, natural fibers from renewable plants could be used to improve the mechanical strength of the biobased composites. In addition to the mechanical properties, the optical, thermal and barrier properties are mainly effective on the selection of type or the ratio of biobased components. Biobased nanocomposites are one of the best alternatives to conventional polymer composites due to their low density, transparency, better surface properties and biodegradability, even with low filler contents. In addition, these biomaterials are also incorporated into composite films as nano-sized bio-fillers for the reinforcement or as carriers of some bioactive compounds. Therefore, nanostructures may provide antimicrobial properties, oxygen scavenging ability, enzyme immobilization or act as a temperature or oxygen sensor. The promising result of biobased functional polymer nanocomposites is shelf life extension of foods, and continuous improvements will face the future challenges. This chapter will focus on biobased materials used in nanocomposite polymers with their functional properties for food packaging applications.

“…It was utilised as a wood adhesive to be later put aside by synthetic resins [91]. Nowadays this is likely to change as there is an increasing interest for using biological compounds, such as casein, to manufacture biodegradable plastics [92] as a result of the environmental impact caused by the use of synthetic plastic. In addition to this, casein can be sourced from the waste streams of the milk industry, adding value to the resulting by-products [93].…”

“…The packaging displays a critical role in the food industry. The primary purpose of packaging is to preserve quality, maintain safety, and expand the shelf life of packaged products against any microbial, physical, chemical, and environmental hazards during storage and transport (Khalil et al, 2018;Prasad & Kochhar, 2014;Turan et al, 2018). Food packaging materials supply physical protection and provide an excellent barrier, mechanical and optical properties required for receiving a sufficient shelf life, retaining safety, and quality of packaged food (Han et al, 2018;Rhim et al, 2013;Wyrwa & Barska, 2017).…”

Studies have been conducted to improve the effectiveness of packaging materials for maintaining food quality with enhanced convenience for processing and final use (Tang et al, 2012;Turan et al, 2018). The most common materials applied in pack-aging are paper, glass, plastic, metal, and a composition of materials of various physical structures and chemical nature (Noorbakhsh-Soltani et al, 2018).…”

The ultimate goal of new food packaging technologies, in addition to maintaining the quality and safety of food for the consumer, is to consider environmental concerns and reduce its impacts. In this regard, one of the solutions is to use ecofriendly biopolymers instead of conventional petroleum-based polymers. However, the challenges of using biopolymers in the food packaging industry should be carefully evaluated, and techniques to eliminate or minimize their disadvantages should be investigated. Many studies have been conducted to improve the properties of biopolymer-based packaging materials to produce a favorable product for the food industry. This article reviews the structure of biopolymer-based materials and discusses the trends and challenges of using these materials in food packaging technologies with the focus on nanotechnology and based on recent studies.
