In this work, cassava starch (CS) was acetylated by a simple and scalable method to
produce a highly hydrophobic polymeric material with potential use in coating and food …

The excessive use of disposable plastic material in our society demands packaging material
which can undergo quick degradation without harming the environment. Agricultural …

This paper reports on the results of using unbleached sugar cane bagasse nanofibres
(average diameter 26.5 nm; aspect ratio 247 assuming a dry fibre density of 1,500 kg/m 3) to …

Different Andean crops were used to obtain starches not previously reported in literature as
raw material for the production of biodegradable polymers. The twelve starches obtained …

The quality of cassava starch, an important trait in cassava breeding programs, determines
its applications in various industries. For example, development of waxy (having a low level …

BACKGROUND Starches from four common bean genotypes were characterized and used
in the production of biodegradable films. Starches were characterized by their swelling …

The objective of this study was to develop and characterize cassava-starch-based films
incorporated with buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L.) oil and emulsifier (Tween 20). An experimental …

Biodegradable films based on starches from different botanical sources exhibited
physicochemical and functional properties which were related with the starch characteristics …

The structure and property of cassava starch‐based films, produced by using 1‐butyl‐3‐
methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM] Cl) and glycerol as combined plasticizers, were …

The recent trend in starch research is the exploration of potential applications of starches
from under-utilized sources. Properties of edible biodegradable films developed from ensete …
