Revisión:aplicación de la nanotecnología como innovación en recubrimientos alimentarios
Summary
Not relevant to microplastics — this Spanish-language review covers nanotechnology applications in biodegradable food coatings as alternatives to synthetic plastic packaging, mentioning microplastics only in the context of motivating the search for alternatives rather than studying plastic pollution itself.
A lo largo de su ciclo de vida, los plásticos sintéticos están asociados a problemas ambientales, ello se ha incrementado por sus aplicaciones en todas las áreas de la industria, particularmente en la alimentaria, ya que en medida que esta crece, la demanda de material de embalaje también, por lo que en los últimos años se ha buscado la disminución y sustitución de los empaques sintéticos, en este sentido, el desarrollo de los bioplásticos forman una clase de materiales poliméricos en rápido crecimiento que se presentan comúnmente como alternativas, ejemplos de ello es el desarrollo de recubrimientos alimentarios a partir de fuentes renovables-biodegradables, apoyados de la nanotecnología, que es un nuevo campo de investigación que transforma la industria alimentaria cambiando la forma de proceso de producción, envasado y consumo, por lo cual, el objetivo de esta revisión es brindar información sobre la nanotecnología, su implementación e importancia en la generación de nanomateriales, nanocápsulas y recubrimientos aplicados en los alimentos.

A Comprehensive Review of Biodegradable Polymer-Based Films and Coatings and Their Food Packaging Applications
This review covers the development of biodegradable polymer-based films and coatings as alternatives to conventional plastic food packaging. While these bio-based materials reduce long-term environmental pollution, the review notes that they can still break down into microplastic particles under certain conditions. The shift to biodegradable packaging may reduce but not eliminate the food packaging contribution to microplastic pollution and human exposure.
Materials
This paper reviews advances in nanocomposite and biopolymer-based food packaging materials, noting that microplastic pollution has been detected globally and is a recognized threat to ecosystem and human health. It briefly contextualises microplastics as a motivation for developing biodegradable packaging alternatives, though the primary focus is materials science rather than microplastics research per se.
