| dc.description.abstract | Petroleum derived plastics dominate the food packaging industry even today.
These materials have brought a lot of convenience and attraction to agro, food
and packaging industry. These materials also have brought along with them
problems relating to the safe-disposal and renewability of these materials. Due
to the growing concern over environmental problems of these materials, interest
has shifted towards the development and promoting the use of
“bio-plastics”. Bio-plastic is a term used for sustainable packaging materials
derived from renewable resources i.e. produced from agro/food sources, materials
such as starch, cellulose, etc. and which are considered safe to be used
in food applications. To enhance the mechanical properties, and water barrier
properties, it can be blended easily with other polymer as well as nano fillers.
The current paper is a review of the progress of research in starch based sustainable
packaging materials. | en_US |
