“…Hence, biodegradable films and coating have been proposed as an environmental friendly alternative to synthetic packaging to preserve the environment and fulfill specific requirements to protect perishable food products and extend their shelf-life (Díaz-Montes & Castro-Muñoz, 2021a). Many studies have reported the efficacy of active films and coatings as quality preservers of many food products (e.g., vegetables, fruits, animal, and dairy) (Aloui & Khwal-dia, 2016;Díaz-Montes et al, 2021a,b;Morales-Jiménez et al, 2020). Depending on the nature of the polymeric matrix and the type of incorporated bioactive compound, active films and coatings can delay microbial growth, preserve food nutritional, physicochemical and sensory properties, maintain initial product's active compounds, confer improved or new bioactivity and increase food shelf-life (Aloui et al, 2021;.…”

Among the most important agro‐industrial activities in the Mediterranean basin, olive oil production has a high impact on the economy of many Mediterranean countries. However, olive oil extraction generates huge quantities of byproducts, including leaves, pomace residues, stones and wastewater, which have severe environmental impacts mainly because of their phytotoxicity and great organic content. Olive oil byproducts are regarded as inexpensive and abundant raw materials rich in bioactive compounds with high and varied health‐related activities. Several phenolic compounds and terpenoids were recovered from olive byproducts using different conventional and advanced extraction methods due to their potential to be used in food, packaging, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Recently, the use of olive byproducts and their functional compounds to enhance the functional properties of packaging systems was investigated as a sustainable strategy for food preservation, fostering the sustainability of the olive‐oil chain, and promoting circular economy. In this framework, the main goals of this review are to summarize the main bioactive compounds in olive byproducts, to review the main advancements in their extraction, purification, and characterization, and finally to discuss their applications in food packaging systems as well as safety‐related aspects.

“…An edible film or coating is any material with a thickness of less than 0.3 mm [ 18 ], which is formed from a combination of biopolymers and different additives ( Section 3.2 ) dispersed in aqueous media [ 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Some authors use the terms of edible film and coating interchangeably; however, others consider that there is a distinction due to the techniques of incorporation into the food product [ 22 ].…”

Food preservation technologies are currently facing important challenges at extending the shelf-life of perishable food products (e.g., meat, fish, milk, eggs, and many raw fruits and vegetables) that help to meet the daily nutrient requirement demand. In addition, food preservation has gone beyond only preservation; the current techniques are focused on the fulfillment of two additional objectives, the suitability of the used processes and generation of environmentally friendly products with non-presence of any side effect on health. Moreover, they are also looking for additional nutritional properties. One of these preservation protocols deals with the use of edible films and coatings. Therefore, this review shows an overview of synthetic materials (e.g., glass, aluminum, plastic, and paperboard), as well as the regulations that limit their application in food packaging. Further, this review releases the current-state-of-the-art of the use of films and edible coatings as an alternative to conventional packaging, providing the main features that these biodegradable packaging should meet towards specific uses for the conservation and improvement of various food products. Herein, particular attention has been paid to the main used components (e.g., biopolymers, additives, bioactive, and probiotic components), manufacturing methods (for edible films or coatings) and their application to specific products. In addition, an outlook of the application of edible films and coatings as quality indicators of perishable products is shown.

“…Edible materials were produced after the incorporation of microalgae with other biopolymers. To achieve that, the whole microalgal cell could be used or compounds could be extracted such as protein concentrates from Spirulina platensis or Chlorella vulgaris (de Oliveira et al., 2018; Moghaddas Kia et al., 2018; Morales‐Jiménez et al., 2020; Stejskal et al., 2020; Tais Cardoso et al., 2017).…”

The global food processing industries represent a challenge and a risk to the environment due to the poor handling of residues, which are often discarded as waste without being used in further sidestreams. Although some part of this biomass is utilized, large quantities are, however, still under-or unutilized despite these byproducts being a rich resource of valuable compounds. These biowastes contain biopolymers and other compounds such as proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, pigments, micronutrients, and minerals with good nutritional values and active biological properties with applications in various fields including the development of sustainable food packaging. This review offers an update on the recent advancement of food byproducts recycling and upgrading toward the production of food packaging materials, which could be edible, (bio)degradable, and act as carriers of biobased active agents such as antimicrobials, antioxidants, flavoring additives, and health-promoting compounds. This should be a global initiative to promote the well-being of humans and achieve sustainability while respecting the ecological boundaries of our planet. Edible films and coatings formulations based on biopolymers and active compounds extracted from biowastes offer great opportunities to decrease the devastating overuse of plastic-based packaging. It has become evident that a transition from a fuel-based to a circular bio-based economy is potentially beneficial. Therefore, the exploitation of food discards within the context of a zero-waste biorefinery approach would improve waste management by minimizing its generation, reduce pollution, and provide value-added compounds. Most importantly, the development of edible packaging materials from food byproducts does not compete with food resources, and it also helps decrease our dependency on petroleum-based products.Practical Application Almost 99% of current plastics are petroleum-based, and their continuous use has been devastating to the planet as plastic-derived components have been detected in all trophic levels.
