TL;DR: The state of the art with regard to the use of proteins for the manufacture of packaging materials, including: the main protein sources that have been used, manufacturing methods (coating on conventional materials, thermoforming, extrusion), possible strategies for improving the physicochemical properties of the materials and the main future prospects and limitations of materials of this kind.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the equilibrium modified atmosphere packaging (EMAP) technology to maintain the quality of wild strawberries and extend their life cycle by using two continuous and three microperforated films with different gas permeabilities.

TL;DR: In this article, β-cyclodextrin (βCD) was successfully immobilized in an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer with a 44% molar percentage of ethylene (EVOH44) by using regular extrusion with glycerol as an adjuvant.

TL;DR: The result showed that the 10% CO2/11% O2 combination can efficiently prolong the shelf life of wild strawberries by maintaining the quality parameters within acceptable values, through inhibiting the development of Botrytis cinerea, without significantly modifying consumer acceptance.

TL;DR: In this article, an active packaging system based on the release of 2-nonanone has been optimized to increase the postharvest shelf life of fresh wild strawberries during the marketing stage.
