Effective innovative solutions in developing packaging systems for food products

The purpose of research is to study the functional and technological properties of modern and promising types of packaging materials recognized in the world space as biologically safe for the consumer, well-preserving quality, environmentally friendly and informational. Objectives: on the basis of functional and technological properties, to conduct an analytical review of promising types of packaging materials, determining their ability to maintain the best quality indicators and increase the storage capacity of food products, exercise control functions during storage and inform the consumer, be biodegradable, be environmentally friendly, maintaining ecological balance in nature. The objects of the scientific review were publicly available scientific information presented in the PubMed databases from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (USA), Elsevier (Scopus, ScienceDirect), on the Web of Science platform and the domestic electronic library eLibrary.ru. The search depth was 10 years. A literature search established the role of biodegradable polymers in solving the problem of environmental safety with recommendations for combining biopolymers with synthetic polymers for the production of biological packaging. We studied the properties of biodegradable packaging materials, the advantage of which is the ability to decompose under the influence of the external environment and maintain the guaranteed quality of products until they are sold. The principles and scientific approaches to the use of biopolymers in the production of biodegradable materials are outlined. The variety of existing biodegradable films will make it possible to cleanse the ecosystem of pollution and completely switch to intelligent biodegradable packaging.
