The accumulation of food packaging plastics in the surrounding environment has a great impact on environmental pollution. This review article examines the use of microalgae compounds in the active food packaging process. In addition, the benefits of algal polysaccharides, which not only lead to increased mechanical, physical, thermal, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and chemical properties of active packaging, but also lead to increased hydrophilicity and improved mechanical properties such as tensile strength, have also been discussed. In this review article, relevant articles published in 2020-2023 in Springer, Science Direct, Scopus, and John Wiley databases were reviewed to obtain the latest findings in the field of biodegradable compounds, algae, and polysaccharides extracted from them. In addition, the effect of adding algal polysaccharides in increasing the mechanical, physical, thermal, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and chemical properties of packaging materials has been investigated. The results of a recent review of articles showed that polysaccharides found in algae increase the shelf life and nutritional value of foods by minimizing lipid oxidation and reducing free radicals that may have carcinogenic, mutagenic, or cytotoxic effects.
