The article presents a review of the literature on the use of polysaccharide bionanocomposites in the context of their potential use as food packaging materials. Composites of this type consist of at least two phases, of which the outer phase is a polysaccharide, and the inner phase (dispersed phase) is an enhancing agent with a particle size of 1-100 nm in at least one dimension. The literature review was carried out using data from the Web of Science database using VosViewer, free software for scientometric analysis. Source analysis concluded that polysaccharides such as chitosan, cellulose, and starch are widely used in food packaging applications, as are reinforcing agents such as silver nanoparticles and cellulose nanostructures (e.g., cellulose nanocrystals and nanocellulose). The addition of reinforcing agents improves the thermal and mechanical stability of the polysaccharide films and nanocomposites. Here we highlighted the nanocomposites containing silver nanoparticles, which exhibited antimicrobial properties. Finally, it can be concluded that polysaccharide-based nanocomposites have sufficient properties to be tested as food packaging materials in a wide spectrum of applications.
本文对多糖生物纳米复合材料作为食品包装材料的潜在用途相关文献进行了综述。这类复合材料至少由两相组成，其中外相是多糖，内相（分散相）是至少在一个维度上粒径为1 - 100 nm的增强剂。文献综述使用了来自科学网数据库的数据，并借助VosViewer（一款用于科学计量分析的免费软件）进行。来源分析得出，壳聚糖、纤维素和淀粉等多糖以及银纳米颗粒和纤维素纳米结构（如纤维素纳米晶体和纳米纤维素）等增强剂在食品包装应用中被广泛使用。增强剂的添加提高了多糖薄膜和纳米复合材料的热稳定性和机械稳定性。在此我们着重介绍了含有银纳米颗粒的纳米复合材料，其具有抗菌性能。最后可以得出结论，基于多糖的纳米复合材料具有足够的性能，可在广泛的应用中作为食品包装材料进行测试。
