The growing concern over the pollution of the natural environment by non-biodegradable polymers has intensified studies being conducted to create recyclable materials for packaging. Biodegradable films made from renewable materials like starch and pectin have attracted a lot of interest because of their promising qualities and eco-friendliness. This review comprehensively summarizes recent advancements in the synthesis, properties, and applications of biodegradable films based on starch and pectin. The methods for the extraction and processing of starch and pectin, including chemical modification techniques to enhance their film-forming capabilities, are discussed. An overview is also given of the various mixing techniques and additives used to enhance the mechanical, obstacle, and thermal properties of these films. A comprehensive study was conducted into the impact of processing factors on the properties of films, particularly temperature, pH, and plasticizers.
