Global Market Growth Opportunities (Revenue, Growth) By 2018-2027

Mostly edible packaging or film consists of three components: film formation, plasticizing and additives. In order to make a film-forming dispersion (FFD), edible films need a suitable solvent to be used for water and alcohol or watery alcohol. The key film forming ingredients are proteins, polysaccharides, lipids and combinations or a blend of these. However, plasticizers and other useful additives are used for enhancing protective properties of edible film and packaging, including antioxidants, vitamins, antimicrobial agents, essential oils, pigmentation and chemical preservatives.

Specific observable quality metrics are used to check edible packaging to prevent packaging failure. The primary evaluation factors include its properties as moisture and gas barrier, microbiological stability, adsorption strength, adhesion, cohesion, solubility, transparency, mechanical characteristics, sensory and organoleptic properties. The shape, smell and taste of the packaged product typically can’t be improved by edible packaging material. Recent advances, however, have allowed the company to offer volatile aromas, vitamins and flavoring agents to packaged products.
