Edible lms most commonly used are derived from polysaccharides, protein, and lipid. Polysaccharide lms may be made from starch, dextrins, and cellulose derivatives.Protein lms are made from collagen, gelatin, wheat and corn gluten, and zein. Lipid lmsmay be made from natural waxes and surfactants (Kester and Fennema, . Fruits and vegetables coated with lipid (hydrophobic) lms have good moisture barriers. Fungicides can be applied to these lms to retard yeast and mold spoilage. However, the coatingmust not cause an excessively high gas barrier because it must reduce anaerobic respira-tion, which can cause physiological disorders (Kester and Fennema, . Other materialsthat have been used as edible lm coatings have lms made from alginate, gelatin, ace-tylated monoglyceride, and chitosan. 7 CONCLUSIONS Food packaging is an essential unit operation for preserving food quality, minimizing food wastage, and reducing the use of chemicals, additives, and stabilizers.
