Bruna Mayara Roldão Ferreira, Ana Paula Stafussa, Carla Adriana Ferrari Artilha Mesquita, Antonio Roberto Giriboni Monteiro and Grasiele Scaramal Madrona. Native Brazilian Fruits and Edible Films, Coatings, and Biodegradable Packaging: A Recent Review and Future Prospects. Journal of Food and Nutrition Research. 2024; 12(10):431-437. doi: 10.12691/jfnr-12-10-5

Abstract

Native Brazilian fruits are rich in bioactive compounds, such as carotenoids and phenolic compounds. This is one of the reasons why their pulps and by-products became so popular. However, to make them accessible to different places, special care in their packaging is necessary. Not only does it provide protection from physical damage, but also prevents diseases and chemical contamination. Furthermore, there are additional advantages of its properties for developing biodegradable packaging. This recent review highlights the increasing development of edible films and coatings to preserve native Brazilian fruits. Brazil produces a wide variety of tropical fruits that remains underexplored, offering numerous possibilities for research, new products, and development of biodegradable packaging. Diverse, rich in nutrients and highly perishable, native Brazilian fruits can be sold in various countries, not limited to tropical regions, depending on the sustainable development of packaging. Therefore, we encourage future studies to integrate native Brazilian fruits into food and industrial applications across different parts of the globe.
