Abstract

Nowadays, many food and nonfood items are packaged using paper, and one of the main barrier materials utilized in this process is synthetic plastic derived from petroleum. In addition to endangering human and marine health, the extensive use of plastic as a barrier liner degrades the environment. Because biobased alternatives have so many benefits—such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and structural flexibility—researchers and food makers are concentrating on them.These biobased substitutes offer good barrier properties against grease, oxygen, bacteria, air, and water, whether used alone or in composites or multilayers. The latest literature findings indicate that biobased polymers for barrier coatings are facing challenges in entering the market. Innovations in bioplastic application and manufacturing technology are developing quickly, opening up new avenues for business and academia to work together to create environmentally friendly packaging solutions. By creating nanocomposites more methodically to get the optimal barrier properties, existing approaches, such as multilayer coating, may be further enhanced. In the future, modified nano cellulose, polyester, and lignin nanoparticles show great promise as high-barrier nanocomposite packaging film materials. The state-of-the-art and research developments in biobased polymeric substitutes, such as board and paper barrier coatings, are included in this study. Lastly, a summary of these biobased polymers' current drawbacks and prospective future development opportunities is given for these barrier materials.
