| contents | Greening industry: case studies of successful sustainable polymer composites María del R. Moreira Agrociencias Due to increased ecological knowledge about the need to reduce the environmental impact that conventional plastics have on the environment; over the last several decades, more sustainable packages have been developed. The goal of sustainable development is to replace conventional petroleum-based polymers with more environmentally friendly materials for be used in a variety of industrial productions. Valorization of agro-food wastes, biopolymers produced by yeast, algae, or bacterial fermentation, as well as those extracted directly from biomass, such as polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids, have derived in a great interest, especially for food packaging and agricultural films, but despite recent successful developments in bio-based polymers, this topic continue to require more research about potential application on foods. Edible polymers are mainly composed of polysaccharides, proteins and lipids, are nature-based materials, which can be easily consumed by human without any harmful effect on health. Since the attractive features of the edible polymers such as biodegradability and bio-environmental compatibility over non-biodegradable synthetic polymers, these polymers have found wide-spread applications in food industry.This review mainly focus on the diversification of different sources of edible polymeric materials and applications as biofilms/coating technologies for foods preservation, active food packaging and functional food coating that are the main motivation for developing composites from polysaccharides, proteins and lipids, and these topics are discussed under the diverse application profile of novel edible composites coatings and films. Exploring new sources of edible polymers, incorporation of active components, nutrients and prebiotic and probiotic compounds allows to extend the shelf life, safety and functional properties of different food products. 2025 artículo científico 1665-0204 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=81382532002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/813/81382532002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/813/81382532002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/813/81382532002/81382532002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/813/81382532002/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=813 Revista Iberoamericana de Tecnología Postcosecha application/pdf Asociación Iberoamericana de Tecnología Postcosecha, S.C.
