Summary
Edible films are produced by dissolving base materials in solvent, ultrasound, cold plasma, high-pressure processing, and ultraviolet treatments. These processes affect properties of films. Advances on application of these process can be presented to readers by special issue.
Edible film are produced by incorporation of additives into film to enhance properties of film. Presentation of novel additives of edible films in special issue may provide progress on development of edible films.
Carbohydrate and proteins are base material for edible films. These base material are used in native form. Modified form form of base materials improve properties of films. Scientsits or industry can be acknowledged for progress on modification of base materials of edible films by special issue.
