食品包装在食品供应链中起着至关重要的作用,通过帮助食品保存和减少整个分销过程中的食品损失。广泛的,不受管制的利用,和由传统石油基塑料制成的食品包装材料的废物管理不善导致了严重的环境危机。基于鸡蛋成分的食品包装由于其可生物降解性,作为合成聚合物的可行替代品,引起了全球包装行业的广泛关注。可持续性和健康相关的好处。这篇综合综述探讨了鸡蛋成分的组成和特性(蛋壳,蛋壳膜,蛋清,和蛋黄),以及从它们衍生的可生物降解包装膜的最新进展。此外,它介绍了这些薄膜的特性及其在食品中的应用,强调它们的生物降解性,可持续性和合适的机械,屏障,热,光学,抗氧化剂,和抗菌性能作为传统合成聚合物的替代品。在包装行业中利用各种鸡蛋成分是安全的,无毒,成本效益高,和经济的方法。然而,发现将天然来源的活性化合物掺入包装膜中,以及由鸡蛋成分与其他生物聚合物结合组成的复合膜,导致优异的性能,与单组分薄膜相比。此外,事实证明,新技术在电影开发中的应用比传统方法更有效。这些创新的基于鸡蛋成分的包装膜可以被优化和商业化,用作食品的包装材料。
Food packaging plays a crucial role in the food supply chain by aiding in food preservation and reducing food losses throughout the distribution process. The extensive, unregulated utilization, and waste mismanagement of food packaging materials made up of conventional petroleum-based plastics has led to a significant environmental crisis. Egg components-based food packaging has attracted considerable attention from the global packaging industry as a viable alternative to synthetic polymers due to its biodegradability, sustainability, and health-related benefits. This comprehensive review explores the composition and properties of egg components (eggshell, eggshell membrane, egg white, and egg yolk), and recent advancements in biodegradable packaging films derived from them. Additionally, it introduces the characteristics of these films and their applications in food, highlighting their biodegradability, sustainability, and suitable mechanical, barrier, thermal, optical, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties as substitutes for traditional synthetic polymers. The utilization of various egg components in the packaging industry is a safe, non-toxic, cost-effective, and economical approach. However, it was found that incorporating active compounds from natural sources into packaging films, as well as composite films composed of egg components combined with other biopolymers, resulted in superior properties, compared to single component films. Moreover, the application of novel technologies in film development has proven to be more effective than conventional methods. These innovative egg components-based packaging films can be optimized and commercialized for use as packaging materials for food products.
