Abstract

Functional food packaging is a vital strategy for developing modern materials that protect food products, extend shelf life, preserve quality, and offer health-related benefits. Alginate films have attracted considerable attention as biopolymer-based materials due to their excellent film-forming capabilities, safety, biodegradability, and ability to reduce oxygen permeability. However, these films have limitations in moisture-barrier properties, structural stability, and mechanical performance, especially under high-humidity conditions. This review aims to critically analyze current knowledge on alginate films incorporating probiotics and antioxidants for use in functional food packaging. It discusses the film-forming mechanism of alginate, its role as a delivery matrix for probiotics, the antioxidant mechanisms that inhibit oxidative deterioration, and the interactions among probiotics, bioactive compounds, and film structure. The evidence suggests that alginate films incorporating probiotics and antioxidants have significant potential as multifunctional food packaging materials, aligning with contemporary trends in sustainability and health-oriented food products. Nonetheless, further research is necessary to optimize film formulations, enhance probiotic stability, and systematically evaluate film performance in real food applications.
