“…Recently, biodegradable and renewable polymers from marine-derived sources have been preferable to other biomass sources due to their abundance, high productivity, and continuous availability. ,, Carrageenan is one of the marine-derived sources of the polymer known to be extracted from seaweed, specifically class Rhodophyceae of red seaweed. ,, Carrageenan is anionic linear, containing 15–40% sulfated ester bonds polysaccharides. Carrageenan provides an excellent gelling ability and a high solubility and swelling in water, making it biodegradable, and it has been extensively used in food and packaging. − However, although biopolymers are environmentally friendly, they have a primary limitation of a shorter lifetime, mainly because of their hydrophilic, poor barrier, and thermomechanical properties. This limitation made carrageenan-based biopolymers less in demand as food packaging since food packaging must have good barrier properties to protect its content against external forces and contamination .…”

Plastic has become an essential ingredient in social life, especially in its function as food packaging. An increase in plastic consumption can have a big impact, especially on environmental issues, because of the plastic waste produced. Substituting petroleum-based plastic with bionanocomposites can be done to reduce the impact of environmental issues caused by plastic waste. The purpose of this study is to produce nanoparticle-incorporated bioplastics, which can be applied as alternative food packaging, especially as petroleum-based plastic substitutes, and as food packaging that has added value in the form of antimicrobial properties. In addition, nanoparticles are also intended to improve the characteristics of bioplastics such as improving mechanical properties and film permeability as well as increasing the barrier properties of bioplastics against ultraviolet rays that can damage packaged food. Bionanocomposites with modified forms were investigated by various characterization such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), mechanical property testing of bioplastics as well as analysis of water vapor permeability (WVP), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), UV–visible spectrophotometry (UV–vis), and antimicrobial testing. Visible improvement of mechanical and UV barrier properties was seen in bionanocomposites with the addition of cerium nanoparticles. Furthermore, we have also demonstrated the antibacterial activity properties of nanoparticle-loaded bionanocomposites, which can add value to their use as food packaging. These results indicate that carrageenan-based bionanocomposites have a high potential for positive application in food packaging to ensure food safety and extend the shelf life of packaged foods.

“…Carrageenan has an excellent gelling ability and a high solubility and swelling in water which is suitable for use in the food and packaging sector. Alternate units of D-galactose and 3,6-anhydrogalactose form its polymer chains joined by α-1,3-and β-1,4glycosidic linkages [6,10,[12][13][14]. Carrageenan is often used as a thickening, gelling, and stabilizing agent in the food industry.…”

Several types of plastic materials are widely used in food packaging because it has good mechanical and physical properties. However, the types of plastic used in food packaging, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polycarbonate (PC), are petroleum-based plastic that is not renewable, not biodegradable, and causes environmental pollution. One option to overcome this problem is to make bioplastic using renewable sources, one of which is carrageenan. Carrageenan is a polysaccharide used in bioplastic synthesis, but it has shortcomings in terms of mechanical properties. Thereby it needs additional supporting materials to improve its mechanical properties. This study aims to obtain optimal mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation, and modulus of elasticity. We optimized two variables in this study: glycerol concentration (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5%) and montmorillonite concentration (10, 20, and 30%). Optimization was carried out in two stages; the first stage was the optimization of glycerol concentrations, and the second stage was the optimization of montmorillonite concentrations. The optimum condition was obtained at 3% (v/v) glycerol and 20% (w/w) montmorillonite which gives a tensile strength value of 3.43 MPa, elongation of 47.01%, and Young Modulus of 7.31 MPa. Based on these optimization results, carrageenan-based bioplastic, especially on %EAB value, are comparable with other commercial plastic for food packaging.
