Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food packaging is an important part of the food industry and daily life, preventing food from microorganism spoilage, chemical pollutants, oxygen, moisture and other adverse conditions in a variety of way, so that food is conducive to the storage, transportation and sales of packaging materials. Appropriate food packaging can minimize food loss and provide consumers with safe and healthy food, improving the marketability and acceptability of food.
Biopolymers are a kind of natural degradable biomass raw material, with green, safe, degradable, plastic and flexible properties. Bio-based food packaging materials are the future development trend. Biopolymer serves as a superior raw material for the development of food packaging, including cellulose, chitosan, starch, sodium alginate, lignin, hemicellulose, etc.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish research on a variety of biopolymer-based food packaging materials such as film, coating, foam, aerogel, etc. The machinability of bio-based food packaging such as seams will also be discussed in this Special Issue. This Special Issue focuses on the innovation, improvement and process control of all types of food packaging to achieve advanced multi-function and multi-application characteristics, such as antibacterial, responsive (such as light, acid-base, heat, electromagnetism), self-cleaning, antioxidant, UV-resistant, high-strength, flexible and flame-retardant materials, etc.
