Studies on development and analysis of edible millet films.

In today's era, the pollution due to plastic packaging is everywhere. The majority of the food packaging consists of laminates which is comprised of plastics, metals, paper and glass and which may end up in landfills and cause an environment risk. Since plastic takes 100 of years to break down. To reduce the utilization of plastic packaging, the edible and biodegradable food wrappers are used. Edible food packaging for premium products can be eaten or has the ability to biodegrade and it is eco-friendly. Edible food packaging controls food waste and does not require recycling. The millets are rich in nutrient and proteins and it is gluten-free. The millet is taken for the food packaging and can be used as an edible paper for premium products. The edible films with millets prolong the shelf life and value added nutritious edible paper can be developed. These premium products can be consumed directly without any harmful effects and it is biodegradable. This research paper summarizes about the production of edible paper for premium products from the source of millet and starch with value added nutritious in the form of edible and biodegradable products.
