TL;DR: Chitin is the most abundant natural amino polysaccharide and is estimated to be produced annually almost as much as cellulose, and recent progress in chitin chemistry is quite noteworthy as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Chitin is the most abundant natural amino polysaccharide and is estimated to be produced annually almost as much as cellulose. It has become of great interest not only as an underutilized resource, but also as a new functional material of high potential in various fields, and recent progress in chitin chemistry is quite noteworthy. The purpose of this review is to take a closer look at chitin and chitosan applications. Based on current research and existing products, some new and futuristic approaches in this fascinating area are thoroughly discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a technical overview discussed the rationale for using edible films for preventing moisture loss from films while allowing permeability of oxygen and carbon dioxide to prevent anaerobic bacterial growth within the encased food.
Abstract: A technical overview discussed the rationale for using edible films for preventing moisture loss from films while allowing permeability of oxygen and carbon dioxide to prevent anaerobic bacterial growth within the encased food. Detailed attention also is given to the characteristics of the types of edible films, covering specific polysaccharide, protein, and lipid films or blends of these. Moisture-, gas-, and solute-barrier properties are discussed, as well as the use of film additives. Further research needs are identified.(wz)
