Use of lignocellulosic materials in bio-based packaging
2018
This chapter presents the most recent studies on the use of lignocellulosic materials for the development of bio-based packaging materials. It is addressed the incorporation of cellulose and its derivatives, hemicellulose, and lignin in bio-based packaging, and some works where the lignocellulosic materials with few pretreatment are used as filler are also presented. Additionally, it is discussed some bio-based materials extracted from biomass, such as polysaccharides and proteins, but also the chemically synthesized polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA), or obtained through biotechnological routes such as polyhydroxyalkanoates.
