Antimicrobial bio-based packaging films: Bio-based packaging technologiesRecent Research Landscape

Low mechanical strength and poor barrier properties in biopolymers limit the replacement of synthetic plastics in food preservation applications.

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

Cellulose barrier performance deficiency

(27)evidences

Conventional bio-based films often lack sufficient intrinsic antimicrobial activity to prevent rapid food spoilage and pathogen proliferation during storage.

Polylactic acid gas permeability

(20)evidences

Standard bio-based polymers lack sufficient barrier and antimicrobial properties to prevent rapid microbial growth and oxidation in perishable produce.

Biopolymer matrix structural instability

(35)evidences

Conventional packaging fails to prevent microbial growth and oxidative reactions that reduce the shelf life of perishable food products.
