contents Konjac glucomannan-based films and coatings for food packaging: Advances, applications, and future perspectives. Shi, Si Huang, Hongyan Duan, Lihui Xie, Xianyang Zhang, Jianxi Tang, Junjie Liu, Wenhao Tong, Cailing Pang, Jie Wu, Chunhua Food Packaging Mannans Humans Biopolymers Anti-Infective Agents Conventional petroleum-derived plastic food packaging poses risks to human health and environmental sustainability, while underperforming in preserving freshness and extending shelf life. This has spurred interest in biopolymers as sustainable alternatives. Konjac glucomannan (KGM), a natural biopolymer, stands out for its non-toxicity, film-forming ability, biodegradability, and biocompatibility, offering a sustainable solution to overcome conventional plastics' limitations. This review explores KGM's sources, production technologies, properties, and applications in food packaging. A literature search (2020-2025) using PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus focused on peer-reviewed studies relevant to KGM-based films. Results show that KGM films enhance shelf life of perishable foods (e.g., fruits, vegetables, meats) by improving moisture retention, gas barriers, and antimicrobial activity. Despite advantages, KGM films face challenges like mechanical strength limitations and humidity sensitivity. Strategies such as blending with biopolymers and incorporating nanoparticles improve performance. KGM-based packaging is emerging as an eco-friendly alternative to petroleum plastics, aligning with sustainability goals. Future research should optimize production processes and commercial scalability.
