“…Reinforcing compounds can also be used to improve the characteristics of starch packaging. The starch packing added other compounds like CS (Fonseca‐García et al., 2021), cellulose (Zhang et al., 2023), oils (Gao et al., 2020), proteins (Wu et al., 2023), nanocomposites (Alves‐Silva et al., 2022; Ni et al., 2018; Xu et al., 2023), nanocrystals (Ren et al., 2023), and agro‐industrial waste (Bhat et al., 2013). When added to other compounds, this kind of package is called “composites.” The results of the studies are very promising for the food industry.…”

The inevitable drawbacks of petrochemical polymer‐based packaging (e.g., extreme loss of fossil resources, excessive products’ carbon footprint, and inordinate environmental pollution resulting from the accumulation of disposed nonbiodegradable plastic‐based packages) have urged scientists to develop novel packaging materials from nature‐inspired biopolymers. Due to their biodegradability, non‐toxicity, film‐forming ability, and barrier properties versus gasses/aroma, polysaccharides have been increasingly valued in developing food packaging materials at the lab or industrial scale. Nonetheless, these valuable biopolymers also suffer from some inherent deficiencies, that is, low resistance to water and poor mechanical attributes. Hitherto, tackling such bottlenecks via the modification of biopolymers through chemical/physical approaches and applying a combination of several biopolymers has been the main focus of numerous recent studies. In this context, the present article, for the first time, provides a comprehensive update on the most recent utilization of common polysaccharides (e.g., starch, chitosan, xanthan gum, gum Arabic, alginate, gellan, pectin, and carrageenan) for food packaging applications.

“…Several studies have been undertaken to examine the physical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics of composites comprising polylactic acid (PLA) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). ,, Nevertheless, there has been a scarcity of research undertaken on the advancement of PLA/MCC/MAH–MA biocomposites and the exploration of their physicomechanical and thermal characteristics. ,, Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the coupling agent (MAH–MA) and varying amounts of MCC loading on the properties of PLA/MCC biocomposites. The current study focused on the fabrication of biocomposites comprising polylactic acid (PLA) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) with different weight percentages (2, 3, and 5% w/w) by a solution mixing and solvent casting method.…”

“…The field of science and technology is currently shifting toward using renewable raw materials that are both ecologically friendly and sustainable. Biopolymers, such as cellulose, chitin, chitosan, and starch, are considered not only sustainable resources but also possess appealing characteristics and functionalities. − Biopolymers are macromolecules composed of repeating subunits called monomers, arranged in linear, branched, or complex structures, and have a high molecular weight. Furthermore, it should be noted that biopolymers possess the desirable characteristics of being both biodegradable and renewable substances, presenting distinct advantages compared to their synthetic polymer counterparts .…”

In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)-based green biocomposites were developed using a solution casting technique. Essentially, the bonding between PLA and MCC is quite feeble; therefore, the current study is conducted to strengthen the bonding by incorporating a coupling agent, thereby enhancing the overall quality of the biocomposites. Thus, the present study aimed to examine the influence of combined coupling agents�maleic anhydride (MAH) and maleic acid (MA) (MAH−MA)�on the properties of polylactic acid (PLA)/microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) biocomposites. The investigation also encompassed an examination of the impact of MCC loading (2, 3, and 5% w/w) into a PLA matrix. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examination revealed the interfacial interaction and adhesion among MCC, PLA, and coupling agents and the formation of biocomposites. The incorporation of MAH−MA led to improved mechanical properties of the PLA/MCC biocomposites. Furthermore, the incorporation of MAH−MA into the PLA/3 wt % MCC composite exhibited enhancements in both the tensile strength and tensile modulus, accompanied by a reduced elongation at break. In addition, it is worth noting that the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curve of the PLA composite with 3% w/w of MCC and MAH−MA displayed a significant decrease in weight beyond a temperature threshold of 492.65 °C. The water absorption demonstrates that the incorporation of MAH−MA into the PLA/MCC composite led to advantageous water barrier characteristics. The observed improvements were attributed to the efficient dispersion of MCC at the most favorable amount of coupling agents, along with the chemical interactions involving grafting and esterification between MCC and the MAH−MA coupling agent. Furthermore, the incorporation of MAH−MA into the PLA/3% (w/w) MCC composite exhibited enhancements in both the tensile strength and tensile modulus, accompanied by a reduction in the elongation percentage at break. The experimental results about water absorption demonstrate that the incorporation of MAH−MA into the PLA/MCC composite led to advantageous water barrier characteristics. These improvements were attributed to good MCC dispersion and the chemical interactions involving grafting and esterification between the MCC and the MAH−MA coupling agent.

“…CMC was not incorporated into the film matrix in the investigation. Characterization was performed on microcrystalline celluloses extracted from four agricultural byproducts: sweet sorghum stalk, Jerusalem artichoke stalk, grain stillage, and Chinese herb residue [ 33 ]. To investigate the thermal and mechanical properties of the film, the obtained microcrystalline celluloses were composited with polylactic acid as a packaging film.…”
