Bacterial cellulose as a biodegradable food packaging material: A review
Abstract
ABSTRACT The relevant presence of food packaging in our society is due to its role in food preservation and minimizing food waste along the distribution chain. However, the high consumption of packages has entailed a large waste production. The main materials employed for food packaging are high, low and very low-density polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene and polypropylene. They are non-biodegradable and with several limitations that hinder their recycling. Biodegradable polymers from natural resources are a potential raw material to develop novel food packaging materials. Among the natural polymeric materials, cellulose of bacterial origin, is a material with extraordinary and differentiated properties from other polysaccharide-based polymers that is gaining special interest for applications in the Food Industry. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the main properties of bacterial cellulose for the development of films for food packaging and to collect the current knowledge of the uses for food packaging.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
