Starch-Based Edible Films and Coatings in Food Applications: Innovations, Challenges, and Limitations addresses the urgent need for sustainable packaging solutions in the food industry. This book targets the information needs and daily challenges faced by college and postgraduate students, university scholars, researchers, food scientists, and industry professionals working with starch-based edible films and coatings. It provides a comprehensive overview of the latest innovations, current limitations, and ongoing challenges, supporting both academic research and practical industrial applications. The book is structured into four main sections. Section I covers the production of starch-based edible films, detailing native and modified starches, preparation mechanisms, and factors influencing film properties, as well as active, intelligent, and reinforced films. Section II presents recent applications in preserving fresh produce, animal products, and processed foods. Section III reviews current and advanced analytical techniques for characterizing these films. Section IV examines cutting-edge innovations, including nanotechnology and 3D printing, and discusses existing limitations and future challenges.Starch-Based Edible Films and Coatings in Food Applications: Innovations, Challenges, and Limitations is a valuable resource for graduate students, researchers, and food technologists.
