Abstract
The food industry faces significant challenges in generating biodegradable materials for packaging food. Studies on the production of edible films and coatings based on macromolecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids (and their combination) from cereal grains or legumes have provided helpful information about component concentrations, interactions, and the optimal conditions to elaborate films or coatings. However, the final application of edible films and coatings can depend on the compatibility between polymer matrix materials and their mechanical and barrier properties. This paper reviews the utilization of proteins from cereal and legumes in the development of edible films and the processing conditions that potentially modify the functional properties of the films, including the combination with additives to improve their properties enhancing food handling, transportation, storage, and preservation, without affecting the environment. In addition, the present research addresses the main methods to elaborate edible films and the use of novel technologies in film formulation.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Food Properties publishes original research papers devoted to all scientific and applied aspects of food properties. The emphasis is on measurement methods, development of standards, and data on food properties, predictions, and applications.
The International Journal of Food Properties brings together the widely scattered research in the area of food properties and provides an international forum for scientists and technologists for rapid dissemination of their research results, ideas, and knowledge. Other features include review articles, book reviews, letters to the editor, conference papers, news, and commercial advertisements.
