Abstract

Nanocellulose has excellent physical and chemical properties such as high surface area, high elastic modulus, high strength, and high gas barrier, and has been widely used in food packaging. To make relevant researchers understand quickly the research progress of nanocellulose in food packaging, and provide a reference for the utilization of nanocellulose and the development of new food packaging materials, this paper summarized the sources and characteristics of nanocellulose, discussed the preparation methods and properties of nanocellulose composites, analysed the safety and biodegradability of nanocellulose composites, and prospected the development trend of nanocellulose composites finally. Nanocellulose as a reinforcing phase can increase the mechanical strength and barrier properties of the polymer matrix, and can also be used as the carrier of active substances such as antioxidants and antibacterial agents to prolong food shelf life. Nanocellulose composites solve many problems faced by the packaging industry and minimize packaging waste. At the same time, nanocellulose composites with better physical and chemical properties need to be developed to be widely used in the field of food packaging.
