Food safety is a constraint issue. This research provided an overview of the developments in the electrospinning technology in order to give information regarding cutting-edge and distinctive food packaging methods. There is a lot of interest for the retaining of increasing the quality of food and packing. Food in packaging material is a multi-disciplinary field that includes food science, engineering of food, chemistry of food and microbiology of food. Due to its distinctive features and better processing, electrospinning technology has attracted a lot of attention for this purpose. Research has quickly adopted unexpected electrospinning breakthroughs. The updated studies about packaging of foods and materials used for the packing of food products was included in this review. Additionally, the usage of electrospinning and the substances utilised to create nanofibers are thoroughly covered. However, the use of electrospun nanofibers in the food sector is still in its early stages. In this study, various parameters, nanofiber texture, characteristics, and basic properties are briefly discussed whereas polymers made using electrospinning with improvements in the films of packaging of food are extensively discussed. The application of the polymers for the electrospinning of nanofibers used as packing layers for a range of meals are also a major subject of this in-depth analysis. Researcher exploring different polymers for electrospinning for use for the packaging of food business will find this to be a great source of knowledge.
