A review of the utilization of biomass-based materials in food packaging

People desire nutritious food items that are of excellent grade and reliability. Food reliability must be ensured, and sustainable alternatives for improving shelf life and reducing food waste must be sought. With growing awareness about the ecological implications of food packaging loss, biodegradable and green packing is in considerable need to reduce the adverse effects of food packaging waste on the planet. Biomass-based products are made from abundant and ecological biomass rather than finite petrochemical products. This review focuses on the possibilities of biomass-based substances for food product packaging. The focus is on the types of relevant biomass-based substances, their properties and benefits for food item packaging, and the tactics employed to enhance their effectiveness. Whereas many studies have been conducted on biomass-based substances for food item packaging, future studies will require more efforts to enhance their effectiveness, comprehend the operating processes, and create sustainable techniques for the production, processing, and disposal of these biomass-based substances. This study also explores the sensors used to monitor the food quality of storage products. Biomass-based intelligent packaging is a viable alternative since it combines ecology and real-time observation of food nutritional information, ensuring the protection of public health while also delivering economic and ecological advantages.
