Abstract

Biodegradable packaging from natural biopolymers can be further enhanced with antimicrobial and antioxidant agents to form active packaging.Plant extracts are attractive components for biodegradable food packaging owing to their natural origin and functionality (antimicrobial/antioxidant activity). Here we demonstrate the effect of bioactive contents of tropical plants and their by-products as promising natural ingredients in the fabrication of biopolymer food packaging.Different parts of tropical plants, such as leaves, flowers, seeds, and roots, can potentially be utilized for new and green packaging systems due to their biological nature. In the food industry, lipid oxidation and microbial spoilage are two problems which reduce the shelf life of food products. It seems that the use of potential bioactive agents in biodegradable packaging is a promising strategy to solve this problem, offering a green alternative to traditional packaging and enhancing the shelf-life of food.

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.
