Food Packaging Materials with Special Reference to Biopolymers-Properties and Applications

Food is an important material for survival. The increasing world population, urbanization, and globalization are responsible more food. This has increased challenges in food storage safety. Therefore, it necessary to preserve by suitable packaging materials. materials useful giving longer life the improving quality during transportation, distribution. Innovations developments packaging, have become very industry. Variety of such as plastics, paper, metal, glass used packaging. Most widely non-biodegradable plastics but these harmful environment human health. industry search friendly replacement biodegradable plastics. However, no systematic literature available on subject, so there a need summarise information way. Polymer with special reference been discussed detail. Different type their functionality applications summarised. Literature shown that much better compared other Increasing fundamental research use polymers effort protect environment, requires deep understanding lot commercialization, which be tackled. All aspects this review article.
