 Edible packaging is a rapidly developing field with potential applications and food preservation and environmental protection. It is composed of various materials such as starches, proteins, lipids, and fibers which can be used to create flexible or rigid structures. These materials can provide barriers against water vapor, oxygen, and microorganisms while allowing moisture exchange. Additionally, edible packaging can be made from natural sources such as plants, animals, and microbes, making it more environmentally friendly than traditional plastic packaging. Furthermore, edible packaging can be designed to degrade naturally after use, reducing the amount of waste produced by the food industry. Despite its potential benefits, further research is necessary to determine the optimal material composition and processing techniques for different applications.
