Biopolymers from agricultural starchy commodities can be raw materials for edible,
biologically degradable plastics. They have promising uses, having been proposed for …

Native and modified starches from non-conventional sources could be used as raw
materials that represent appropriate bio-matrices to support diverse bioactive substances …

A non-conventional starch obtained from guinea arrowroot tubers (Calathea allouia) grown
in the Amazon was used as a polymeric matrix for the development of edible films. The films …

Starch-based composite films have been proposed as food packaging. In this context, the
study of non-conventional starch sources (sagu, Canna edulis Kerr) has worldwide special …

This work reports on the extraction and characterization of the behavior of starch from
residues of several potato varieties (Criolla, Sabanera and Pastusa) of Colombian origin …

Edible films were developed using different starch sources (corn starch and amylomaize).
Starch suspensions were cold gelatinized with NaOH; either glycerol or sorbitol were used …

Growing demands for the use of biodegradable polymer films in food packaging have led to
studies on several sources of non-conventional starches. Corn starch (CS), is the most …

Several different hydrocolloids, such as starch, have been proposed as suitable base
materials (matrices) for edible films in food packaging. Edible films from native and modified …

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

Biodegradable films from ahipa, cassava and corn native starches were developed by
casting method and their physicochemical, mechanical and barrier properties were …
