title: Sustainable Food Packaging: A Brief Review of Chitosan-Based Materials
abstract: The rapid global population growth and advancing technologies have significantly increased the demand for resources, leading to environmental challenges. The packaging industry, a critical sector for protecting products and extending shelf life, has relied heavily on petroleum-based polymers. However, these non-biodegradable materials pose severe environmental and waste disposal concerns. Biodegradable polymers, particularly those derived from natural sources like chitosan, offer a promising alt
