Edible packaging refers to a packing that is edible and biodegradable. For example, candy, cookies, jams, and jellies are packed in such a way that it can be broke down into smaller particles, the edible packaging has the natural decomposition process and it does not affect the packed food and the goodness of the packed food product remains preserved for the future consumers to use. This kind of packaging is very attractive to consumers who are health conscious and those who want to go "green" by reducing their carbon footprint. Edible packaging is an important tool that helps consumers in making informed decisions on the products they purchase and how to reduce its impact on the environment. The food and packaging industries were obliged to offer the idea of edible packaging to the market due to the growing consumer demand for high-quality products made with natural components. Numerous methods have been improved till date to preserve the food, either by including preservatives or by altering the type of packaging material.
