In recent years, the focus has increasingly shifted towards sustainable packaging solutions, with a rising interest in utilising edible materials for dairy product packaging. The dairy industry has substantial potential for the utilisation of edible coatings and films, as indicated by recent research in this field. The selection of packaging material and design plays a crucial role in ensuring that each packaged dairy product meets expected standards of shelf-life, quality and safety, while also being cost-effective, visually appealing, and environmentally sustainable. Effective packaging can enhance efficiency, minimise waste, and improve overall product quality. This review consolidates recent findings on edible biodegradable packaging applications for cheese, highlighting key advancements, and offering insights into future trends with a focus on environmentally friendly practices within the dairy industry. It also discusses current testing possibilities for biodegradable packaging across various dairy products.
