Antimicrobial bio-based packaging films: Bio-based packaging technologiesLast 5 Years Research Landscape

Food spoilage and short shelf life limit the commercial viability of biodegradable polymers compared to synthetic barrier plastics.

What technical problems is Bio-based packaging technologies addressing in Antimicrobial bio-based packaging films?

Cellulose barrier performance deficiency

(45)evidences

Lignocellulosic and bacterial cellulose fibers often suffer from poor moisture resistance and insufficient mechanical strength in high-humidity food environments.

Polylactic acid gas permeability

(43)evidences

PLA-based films lack the precise gas exchange control required to prevent premature spoilage in fresh produce packaging.

Biopolymer matrix structural instability

(63)evidences

Polysaccharide and hydrogel matrices frequently exhibit rapid degradation or loss of antimicrobial agent retention when exposed to surface moisture.
