“…However, these are resistant to biodegradation, and the burning of such plastic releases toxic gases, which are harmful to animals, plants, and their natural environment. In this way, biopolymers are more advantageous due to their ability to degrade easily and can be considered a safer alternative to normal plastics [ 17 ].…”

The world production of plastic exceeded 360 million tonnes in 2020 alone, a considerable amount of which is not properly disposed of. The significant pressures and damages posed by conventional plastic to human and environmental health suggest that alternatives are urgently needed. One of them is “bioplastic”, which is defined as bio-based plastic that is (or not) biodegradable. This paper reports on a study on the perceptions of bioplastics among consumers in 42 countries to identify their levels of information and concerns. The results suggest that most respondents have positive expectations regarding the future of bioplastics to replace conventional plastics fully or partially, especially for food containers, kitchenware, and boxes and bags for packaging. They also reported that the low costs and increased availability of bioplastic products on the market are likely to be the main drivers for their wide-scale adoption. However, many participants are unsure whether they would buy bio-based and biodegradable products if they are expensive. Overall, whereas a rather positive attitude to bioplastics has been identified, greater efforts are needed to address the many information needs of consumers towards upscaling the adoption of bioplastics. Relevant policies are therefore needed to encourage investments in the large-scale manufacture and market uptake of bioplastics. The paper reports on an initial study of consumer behavior, in a sample of countries spread across all geographical regions.

“…The advent of biopolymers is a good solution to improve the environmental problems caused by plastics, because they are biodegradable despite imitating the properties of plastics and only remain in the environment for a short time. Biopolymers are divided into three categories based on the source of production (Table 3; Gupta and Dudeja, 2017) polymers extracted from biomass (Grönman et al, 2013), those synthesized from biomassderived monomers, and (Muncke, 2014) those produced from microorganisms (Mangaraj et al, 2014;Naveena and Sharma, 2020). Considering applications in the food industry, these bio-based materials are particularly applicable in three main areas in FPS: food coating, food packaging, and edible films.…”

“…They are inexpensive and have exceptional mechanical characteristics, such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, and heat tolerance. Plastics are, therefore, used intensely for food packaging [ 162 ]. As a result of food packaging, a massive amount of plastic waste is formed, and its management turns into a global problem in many developing and underdeveloped countries [ 17 ].…”

Food is a basic necessity for life, growth, survival, and maintaining a proper body function. Rising food demand leads both producers and consumers to search for alternative food sources with high nutritional value. However, food products may never be completely safe. The oxidation reaction may alter both the physicochemical and immunological properties of food products. Maillard and caramelization nonenzymatic browning reactions can play a pivotal role in food acceptance through the ways they influence quality factors such as flavor, color, texture, nutritional value, protein functionality, and digestibility. There is a multitude of adulterated foods that portray adverse risks to the human condition. To maintain food safety, the packaging material is used to preserve the quality and freshness of food products. Food safety is jeopardized by plenty of pathogens by the consumption of adulterated food resulting in multiple foodborne illnesses. Though different analytical tools are used in the analysis of food products, yet, adulterated food has repercussions for the community and is a growing issue that adversely impairs human health and well-being. Thus, pathogenic agents’ rapid and effective identification is vital for food safety and security to avoid foodborne illness. This review highlights the various analytical techniques used in the analysis of food products, food structure, and quality of food along with chemical reactions in food processing. Moreover, we have also discussed the effect on health due to the consumption of adulterated food and focused on the importance of food safety, including the biodegradable packaging material.
