Acid hydrolysis is a key chemical treatment process that can significantly improve the
functional and structural properties of starch without altering its granular morphology. In this …

Background Cassava starch, the economically important agricultural commodity in Thailand,
can readily be cast into films. However, the cassava starch film is brittle and weak, leading to …

Biodegradable starch-based film has been widely used as alternative to packaging derived
from fossil sources. The composition, structural and morphological properties of starch …

The objective of this work was to manufacture biodegradable films by two different
processes (casting and extrusion), from different combinations of cassava starch and …

Bionanocomposites films of cassava starch plasticized with sucrose and inverted sugar and
reinforced by cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were prepared by solution casting method …

The remaining fibrous residue of cassava starch extraction was characterized and used as
film filler in order to obtain an enhanced fully biodegradable starch-based composite. Film …

The objective of this study was to develop films with reduced hygroscopicity and improved
mechanical properties from acetylated cassava starch. For that, an acetylation procedure …

Starch is the most important polysaccharide polymer used to develop biodegradable films,
mainly used for packaging applications. Due to high hydrophilicity and poor mechanical …

This paper reports the use of acetylated starch nanoparticles (NPAac) as reinforcement in
thermoplastic starch films. NPAac with an average size of approximately 500 nm were …

ABSTRACT A comparative performance study of cellulose and starch nanoparticles on
plasticized starch reinforcement has been presented. Starch nanoparticles were obtained by …
