Development of Biofilm Using Natural Plant Sources Augmented With Punica Granatum Peel Extract

This abstract explores the potential of biofilms as innovative components of food packaging materials.Biofilms, comprised of beneficial microorganisms such as lactic acid bacteria, can be engineered to form bio-based coatings on packaging surfaces.These biofilms exhibit antimicrobial properties, effectively inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria and extending the shelf life of packaged food products.Moreover, they create a protective barrier that reduces the risk of physical and chemical damage to the food.This abstract serves as a concise overview of the promising concept of using biofilms in food packaging materials, highlighting their sustainable, antimicrobial, and protective attributes.Here is the solution to combine the plant source and organic matter in the field of bioplastic which is a part of bio-textiles.The product of biofilm is developed with the Punica granatum peel extract augmented with the base ingredients to develop the biofilm is Zea may (Corn) Starch, Coconut oil, Punica Granatum peel essence, Sodium alginate, Glycerol, and Gelatine.Testing biofilms for use in food packaging involves various evaluations to ensure the safety, quality, and efficacy of the biofilm material.Standard testing was carried out as thickness, GSM, FTIR, and Microbial degradation.Further research and development in this area could revolutionize food preservation, reduce food waste, and promote an eco-friendly food packaging industry.
