Food packaging, biopolymers biodegradable films

Modified or unmodified starch is one of the most used biopolymer for making biodegradable or edible packaging film because of its low cost, availability, and film-forming ability. Starch-based films are transparent, flavorless, tasteless, and colorless. Due to their hydrophilic nature, the films produced firom starch possess poor gas and water vapor barrier properties These films also have poor mechanical strength and hence several modifications and additives are required to improve the barrier and mechanical properties. This limits their potential to be used as a raw material for the development of food packaging materials to a large extent. [Pg.266]
