Technological advances have led to increased constraints regarding food packaging, mainly due to environmental issues, consumer health concerns, and economic restrictions associated therewith. Hence, food scientists and technologists are now more focused on developing biopolymer packages. Starch satisfies all the principal aspects making it a promising raw material for edible coatings/films. Modified starch has grabbed much attention, both at the academic as well as at the industrial level, because these films exhibit dramatic improvement in filming properties without involving any significant increase in cost of production. Various methods, additives used, and recent advances in the field of starch film production are discussed in detail in this review, which also provides an overview of the available information along with recent advances in modified starch film packaging.
技术进步导致食品包装面临更多限制，这主要是由于环境问题、消费者健康担忧以及与之相关的经济限制。因此，食品科学家和技术专家现在更加专注于开发生物聚合物包装。淀粉满足了所有主要方面，使其成为可食用涂层/薄膜的有前景的原材料。改性淀粉在学术和工业层面都备受关注，因为这些薄膜在成膜性能方面有显著改善，且生产成本没有大幅增加。本综述详细讨论了淀粉薄膜生产领域的各种方法、使用的添加剂以及最新进展，还概述了现有信息以及改性淀粉薄膜包装的最新进展。
