摘要: The accumulation of non-biodegradable plastics in the environment, raising issue waste disposal, joined to growing concerns about high dependence on petroleum-based materials has led development new bio-based polymers obtained directly from biomass. Unlike chemically synthesized polymers, bioplastics are produced by living organisms, such as plants, fungi, or bacteria. This article describes structure, properties, and sources main particular, polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, polyesters. Their application for biomass-based advanced biomaterials is reviewed with particular interest food technologies.
