The development of biodegradable packaging for partial replacement of petrochemical-based polymers is influenced by serious concerns regarding the environment and food safety. The purpose of this review is to provide current information on developments in biodegradable packaging materials, as well as the role that nanotechnology and virtual technologies play in the food supply chain. Typical biodegradable materials include polylactic acid, gelatin, starch, chitosan, and cellulose. Tensile strength, rip resistance, permeability, degradability, and solubility are a few characteristics that determine which food packaging materials should be used and how. Microbial enzymatic activities and bio assimilation are two ways that biodegradable films might break down in soil. Blended films are enhanced with nanoparticles to make packaging materials work better.
