Eco-friendly biological materials for healthy food packaging

Packages of food products are interested in protecting food during shipping. To achieve the goal of packaging food products, the rules governing them must be followed. There are many materials for food packaging, some of which pose risks to human health. Therefore, the use of biopolymers and starch-based compounds has been developed. Food packaging is essential for preserving the quality and safety of food, but it has raised concerns regarding waste and environmental impact. However, to meet the increasing demand for food, both the quality and quantity of packaging need to improve. Certain packaging materials can emit harmful chemicals when heated, posing risks to consumers. Packaging serves as both an art and a science, attracting buyers and ensuring product safety. Factors such as food type, manufacturing process, shelf life, and environmental considerations influence packaging choices. It is crucial to prioritize food-grade materials and consider aspects like shape, size, color, labeling, cost, and recyclability.
