Macroalgae represents a sustainable and environmentally friendly resource for developing bio-based packaging materials to prolong the shelf life of fruits vegetables. This review explores unique properties red, brown, green algae, rich in bioactive compounds that offer significant advantages as materials. The highlights extraction methods such supercritical fluid extraction, enzymatic-assisted microwave-assisted ultrasound-assisted which optimize yield compounds. These are advantageous over conventional techniques due their low solvent usage, high selectivity, rapid processing, reduced extract degradation. Additionally, delves into macroalgae's antioxidant antimicrobial impact on enhancing perishable produce. Regulatory aspects concerning incorporating macroalgae food examined alongside consumer perceptions acceptance these innovative solutions. widespread consumption ASEAN countries underscores its safety familiarity, paving way broader macroalgae-based global markets. In summary, utilizing presents solution preservation. It leverages algae extend potential viable alternative materials, aligning with sustainability goals preferences eco-friendly products.
