Abstract

Biopolymer materials have attracted attention due to their richness, sustainability, environmental friendliness, and biodegradability properties. This review explores recent advances in biopolymer synthesis, properties, and their commercial applications. Biopolymers, derived from renewable sources, have garnered significant attention due to their environmental benefits and potential to replace conventional petrochemical-based plastics. The synthesis of biopolymer delves into innovative biopolymer production techniques, including microbial fermentation, chemical modifications, and novel biotechnological approaches. A detailed examination of the unique properties of biopolymers, including physical, thermal, mechanical, and optical characteristics of naturally generated biopolymers. It explores the diverse range of applications of biopolymers across industries, including packaging for the food industry, biomedical engineering, cosmetics, and different mechanical applications. The review further discusses the growing commercial applications of biopolymers across various industries, such as packaging, agriculture, medicine, and textiles. This review aims to provide an understanding of the current method of synthesis properties and future potential application of biopolymers in advancing sustainable materials science.

期刊介绍： Process Biochemistry is an application-orientated research journal devoted to reporting advances with originality and novelty, in the science and technology of the processes involving bioactive molecules and living organisms. These processes concern the production of useful metabolites or materials, or the removal of toxic compounds using tools and methods of current biology and engineering. Its main areas of interest include novel bioprocesses and enabling technologies (such as nanobiotechnology, tissue engineering, directed evolution, metabolic engineering, systems biology, and synthetic biology) applicable in food (nutraceutical), healthcare (medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic), energy (biofuels), environmental, and biorefinery industries and their underlying biological and engineering principles.
