A comprehensive review on polylactic acid (PLA) - Synthesis, processing and application in food packaging( vol 234 , 123715 , 2023)

초록

The authors regret the concern raised by the reader for the review article mentioned above. Both thermosets and thermoplastics are polymers, however they react differentially to heat. Thermoplastics can melt after curing, while thermoset hold their shape and remain solid when heated. It was a typographic error on our part in Section 2 and in Section 7. We have rectified the typographic error in the following sections. Section 2: Food packaging “Such kinds of plastic are categorized into thermoplastic. These thermoplastics can be processed and reprocessed using heat. This type of plastic is recyclable based on its ability to be reprocessed, so they are ideally used for food packaging due to their ability to be easily transformed into different shapes. Thermoplastics such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) are used as food packaging materials [23, 24]. The main disadvantage of these thermoplastic is that they cannot be reclaimed by heat once formed, and they are not recyclable [25, 26].Section 7: Processing of PLA in food packaging Biopolymer production methods are all well-established methods; yet, their management and application must be changed to deal with few agents related to the exploitation of the biopolymer benefits. The developed routes are fundamentally similar; with the significant changes depending on the thermoplastic biopolymer is to be treated [80].The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
