食品包装材料应提供最佳的保护性能，使其包装的产品在预期的保质期内保持良好的状态。该包装技术与选择具有适当气体和水阻隔性能的包装材料相结合，旨在防止微生物或昆虫攻击破坏食品。包装，特别是食品包装，被非常雄辩地描述为“一个复杂的，动态的，科学的，艺术的和有争议的业务部分”[1]。这一定义的准确性很容易证明，因为包装是一个非常复杂的过程，许多公司部门在其中相互作用;它是“动态的”，因为它不断变化的特点和“科学的”，因为包装的进一步改进在很大程度上取决于科学的进步和创新;当然，科学的贡献对于使产品对消费者更具“吸引力”来说是非常必要的[2]。消费者对高质量、长保质期、即食食品的需求不断增加，促使人们开发出温和防腐的产品，尽可能长时间地保持其天然和新鲜的外观[3，4]。可食用和可生物降解的聚合物膜提供了替代包装选择，这对合成的“柠檬酸盐”包装聚合物有利，因为它们不会造成环境污染[5，6]。虽然可食用膜并不意味着完全取代合成包装膜，但它们确实有可能大幅减少食品包装造成的环境负担，并限制食品成分之间的水分、香气和脂质迁移[5，7]。多糖和蛋白质作为可食性膜的潜力早已被认识
The food packaging material is expected to provide optimum protective properties so that the product it encloses remains in satisfactory condition for its anticipated shelf life. The packaging technique, in conjunction with the choice of a packaging material endowed with appropriate gas and water barrier properties, aims to prevent destruction of food by microbial or insect attack. Packaging, and food packaging in particular, has been very eloquently described as “a complex, dynamic, scientific, artistic and controversial segment of business”[1]. The veracity of this definition can be easily certified since packaging is an exceptionally complicated process in which many company departments interact; it is “dynamic” because of its continuously changing character and “scientific” since further improvement of packaging is heavily dependent on scientific advances and innovations; of course, the scientific contribution is more than necessary for making the product more “appealing” to the consumer [2]. The increased consumer demand for high-quality, long-shelf-life, ready-toeat foods has initiated the development of mildly preserved products that keep their natural and fresh appearance as long as possible [3, 4]. Edible and biodegradable polymer films offer alternative packaging options advantageous to the synthetic “recalcitrant” packaging polymers because they do not contribute to the environmental pollution [5, 6]. Although edible films are not meant to replace synthetic packaging films entirely, they do have the potential to reduce substantially the environmental burden due to food packaging and to limit moisture, aroma, and lipid migration between food components [5, 7]. The potential of polysaccharides and proteins as edible films has long been recognized
