Biomass derived sustainable materials: fabrication, processing, and food applications

초록

In recent years, bio-based materials have gained significant attention due to the depletion of fossil resources, environmental pollution, and regulatory concerns. Biomass-derived sustainable materials possess valuable properties, including biodegradability, recyclability, renewability, environmental friendliness, abundance, mechanical strength, optical properties, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. These properties make biomass-derived materials a potential substitute for the materials derived from fossil resources. Furthermore, global regulations have prompted a reduction in the use of fossil resources across various sectors, including the food industry. This book chapter discusses methods employed in the extraction of sustainable materials, functionality, and fabrication of composites for food packaging applications from biomass-derived resources. The chapter emphasizes the diversity of resources from plants and marine resources in bio-based materials synthesis and processing ranging from micro to nanoscale dimensions. With regards to food and packaging applications, this chapter also highlights various considerations related to oxygen transmission rate, preservatives, antioxidants, antibacterial, and their applications in food preservation functionalities. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.
