Abstract:
... Food packaging is an essential component of the development in food industry, as it is capable of protecting food from physical, chemical and biological contamination. Synthetic plastic packaging is by far the most commonly used for packaging; however, it leads to considerable environmental problems. The use of biodegradable plastics derived from natural polymers can address this issue. Neverthele ...
