Abstract: Due to market and increase the flow of goods, it is necessary to find new technological solutions that will as much as possible to protect the consumers who consume food products.He constantly finds new ways of packaging products that meet all the stringent requirements of customers. It is necessary to ensure the product from damage, but also provide less exposure to undesirable changes in foods during the manufacturing process. In addition to traditional packaging materials, today to talk about a biodegradable material produced from renewable raw materials that are easily decomposed under the influence of environmental factors. Biodegradable packaging waste shall be of such nature that it may submit a physical, chemical, thermal or biological decomposition such that most of the material from which is made at the end separates the carbon dioxide, biomass and water. The new packaging is surely one of the trends and the growing use of edible biopolimernih packaging materials.Edible coatings based on different mixtures of milk serum proteins, starch and additives, and can be used for packaging and protection of various products. In science there is a trend in recent years the development of biodegradable packaging which can meet all the needs of the product to preserve its quality while at the same time reducing environmental pollution.
