Abstract
Curcumin, a phenolic compound derived from turmeric, is renowned for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an ideal candidate for sustainable food packaging solutions. This review explores recent advancements in developing biodegradable and edible films incorporating curcumin. These films exhibit smart functionalities, including pH monitoring and active preservation capabilities. Studies demonstrate curcumin’s effectiveness in enhancing food quality and safety, particularly for animal-based products. Additionally, the medium's characteristics significantly influence curcumin's performance. Overall, curcumin-loaded biopolymeric films represent a promising innovation in the food packaging industry, addressing environmental concerns while maintaining food integrity.
