Fish gelatin: a renewable material for developing active biodegradable films. (2009, background): “Thus, new biodegradable films made from edible biopolymers from renewable sources could become an important factor in reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste 15 (Tharanathan, 2003).”
The effect of the degree of hydrolysis of the PVA and the plasticizer concentration on the color, opacity, and thermal and mechanical properties of films based on PVA and gelatin blends (2008, background): “products or byproducts derived from agriculture or from agroindustries (Tharanathan, 2003).”
Structure and properties of nanocomposite films based on sodium caseinate and nanocellulose fibers (2011, background): “The production of biodegradable and edible films from carbohydrates and proteins adds value to low cost rawmaterials and can play an important role in food preservation by extending shelf life and improving quality of foods (Avérous et al., 2001; Gennadios, 2002; Krochta and Miller, 1997; Tharanatha”
Nanocomposites for food packaging applications (2009, background): “and improve quality of food while reducing packaging waste (Tharanathan, 2003).”
Physico-chemical and film forming properties of giant squid (Dosidicus gigas) gelatin (2009, background): “Although most films used to preserve foodstuffs are synthetic, nowadays there is an increasing effort to find biodegradable edible packaging materials, mainly coming from recycling material or from renewable resources for environmental reasons (Tharanathan, 2003).”
Polymer Nanocomposites as a New Trend for Packaging Applications (2013, background): “A big effort to extend the shelf life and enhance food quality while reducing packaging waste has encouraged the exploration of new bio-based packaging materials, such as edible and biodegradable films from renewable resources([125]).”
Potential perspectives of bio-nanocomposites for food packaging applications (2007, background): “A big effort to extend the shelf life and enhance food quality while reducing packaging waste has encouraged the exploration of new bio-based packaging materials, such as edible and biodegradable films from renewable resources (Tharanathan, 2003).”
