Sumario:The population increase in the coming years will cause the increase of non-biodegradable plastic packaging for food protection, which will make it difficult to ensure food safety, without affecting the environment. Within bioplastics, the use of starch films has the potential to gradually replace traditional packaging; however, its use in foods is still limited given its weak functional properties. Industry research has sought to generate starch films from agricultural biomass waste to reduce environmental impact by generating a circular economy. For this reason, this review compiles the research of the last five years that seeks to improve the functional properties of potato starch films to obtain packaging capable of extending the shelf-life of the food that ensures food security with sustainable precursors through a circular economy.
