Resumo
Food packaging keeps food safe and fresh and protects products during transport, delivery, and
storage. On the other hand, packaging also fills trash containers and landfills, lasting far longer
than the products it was made to contain and can also transfer chemicals into our food, with
unknown health effects. Disposing massive quantities of wastes generated by nonbiodegradable
packaging material pave ways for the study of biopolymers as alternative
materials for food packaging. Ionizing radiation is the most effective means to disinfect dry
food ingredients and an adequate phytosanitary treatment of food and agricultural
commodities. The irradiation of food products is today a mature technology, effective, broad
spectrum, residue free that can play an important role in food safety and food security. On the
other hand, radiation processing of polymers is an attractive option for the food packaging
industry worldwide. Practically every type of physical and chemical assay technique has been
utilized for radiation studies on biological molecules. The aim of this article is to present some
aspects of our own work on the development of edible films based on a combination of
polysaccharide/protein - cassava starch and soy isolate protein - among the general application
of irradiation technology on packaging materials.
