Abstract
Food preservation, particularly for grains and high-fat foods such as nuts, is a critical issue to assure safety and quality throughout the entire production chain. In particular, these products are highly sensitive to oxidative rancidity. In this sense, the use of multilayer films for food packaging has emerged in the past years as a key strategy to enhance shelf life of sensitive products. These films offer significant barriers to external factors such as oxygen, moisture, and light, which are essential for preventing spoilage and maintaining nutritional quality and organoleptic characteristics. This review explores the role of multilayer films in storage of grains and nuts, focusing on film composition, functionality, and the challenges associated with their use and final disposal. The discussion also includes recent advances in the development of sustainable and recyclable multilayer films
