Abstract Development of new food packaging materials is crucial to reduce the use of single-
use plastics and to limit their destructive impact on the environment. Polysaccharides …

This review presents an overview of methods for preparing chitosan-derived porous
materials and discusses their potential applications. This family of materials has garnered …

Sodium alginate (SA), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and potato starch (PS) based
functional packaging films were prepared by solvent casting method. The sample films were …

Due to the growing demand for robust and environmentally friendly antimicrobial packaging
materials, biopolymers have recently become extensively investigated. Although …

Although biopolymers are currently considered as advantageous materials for food-
packaging applications, their poor tensile strength, flexibility and barrier properties limit their …

This study includes development of chitosan-based films with incorporated essential thyme
oil and different combinations of cross-linkers viz., ZnO, CaCl 2, NC, and PEG for the safe …

Nowadays, using biodegradable and active packaging as an alternative to oil-based plastics
become a trend. Thus, we aimed in this study to develop and generally evaluate chitosan …

The growing prevalence of fungal infections alongside rising resistance to antifungal drugs
poses a significant challenge to public health safety. At the close of the 2000s, major …

Recently, the scientific community is interested in the synthesis of biodegradable and
bioactive packaging to replace oil-based ones. Therefore, the present study aims to …

Chitosan-based films modified with synthesized (propylene glycol monoacetate, propylene
glycol esters of fatty acids, and epoxidized propylene glycol esters) and commercial eco …
