Özet
Currently, the widespread use of petroleum-based plastic food packaging materials and their non-degradable nature have significantly contributed to environmental issues. As a result, biopolymer-based food packaging materials are emerging as promising sustainable alternatives. Among the many biopolymers, tragacanth gum (TG) is being explored for the production of biodegradable food packaging films. As a hydrophilic colloidal polysaccharide, TG-based food packaging films possess renewable and edible properties, making them suitable for preparing food packaging films and edible coatings. This work briefly reviews the chemical properties and recent progress in the industrial applications of tragacanth gum. The research progress on different composite films based on tragacanth gum, including polymer blending, plant extract functionalization, and nanomaterial functionalization, is highlighted. Finally, the practical applications of tragacanth gum-based composite films and edible coatings in food preservation are summarized.
