The ebook conclusions, greatly exalts the results that all the researchers have put on the development of ?Biopackaging? as well as techniques and methodologies for characterizations and determination of transport properties of film forming biopolymers from different sources and industrial applications. For that, researchers and engineers have adopted a strategy based on the understanding of the relationship between their structure and their macroscopic properties of film forming biopolymers. Authors in this ebook have shown, through the diversity of the countries they belong, that biopolymers from animal, plant, microbial and seaweed sources can be extracted through eco-friendly processes and be used for biopackaging applications. The design and engineering of innovative biopackaging deserve a special attention because it forms a fascinating interdisciplinary area that brings together food, biochemistry & biotechnology, materials science and nanotechnology. The revolution in biopolymers applications comes from the use of proteins and polysaccharides in structured food and non-food materials with the elaboration of biocompatible and degradable films for active biopackaging applications.
