Abstract

At present, nanotechnology is recognized as one of the promising and challenging areas for technology development in the food processing sector. Development of biopolymer nanocomposites is an evolving field in the food preservation research area, due to their added functionalities and enhanced structural and physical properties in food packaging industry, and delivery of nutraceutical products. Furthermore, the biopolymer and nanocomposite are deriving from the natural sources, which are abundant and available in nature, biodegradable and eco-friendly as well as economical. The conventional nanocomposites are synthetic non-degradable based on nylon commonly, considered as a solid waste, which is depleting our mother nature. Nowadays, consumer demand and expectation increase for fresh, nutraceutical-rich and good-quality foods, which enforce the industrial needs of biodegradable or edible materials extracted from renewable resources. Advanced bio-derived polymer nanocomposites will create a promising path to encounter the current and future needs and to overcome the environmental risk attributed by the conventional polymer.
