Article Synopsis
- Biopolymer films are biodegradable films made from natural materials, whereas biocomposite films combine biodegradable and other materials, and bionanocomposites include nanofillers to enhance their compostability and properties.
- Bionanocomposites, especially those with a mix of anthocyanin and carbon dots, are being developed for active and intelligent food packaging, demonstrating features like high pH-sensing.
- The article reviews recent advancements in bionanocomposite films, highlighting the role of natural nanofillers, life cycle and risk assessments, and discussing challenges and future directions for intelligent food packaging.
To date, the production of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) by standard methods has been well known, while the use of low-cost feedstock as an alternative medium still needs to be explored for BNC commercialization. This study explores the prospect for the use of the different aqueous extract of fruit peel wastes (aE-FPW) as a nutrient and carbon source for the production of BNC. Herein, this objective was accomplished by the use of a novel, high- yielding strain, isolated from rotten apple and further identified as Komagataeibacter xylinus IITR DKH20 using 16 s rRNA sequencing analysis.
