The active packaging films based on corn starch and chitosan were prepared through
mixing the starch solution and the chitosan solution (1: 1) by casting. The aim of this work …

As starch is an inexpensive, filmogenic, easily processable and a widely available material,
it is a material that can be utilized in the creation of biodegradable films and containers …

Starch-based films possess potential application in food packaging, due to their
biodegradability, lower cost, stretchability and clarity. The aim of this work was to develop …

The study was aimed to improve the properties of starch-based biodegradable films by the
way of polymer blending. The composite films were prepared by incorporating various …

Starch based films, reinforced by two types of polysaccharide-based crystals, were prepared
and compared. The films were transparent and their surface was smooth in appearance …

Starch films can be used as materials for food packaging purposes. The goal of this study is
to compare how the starch origin influence the selected starch film properties. The films were …

In recent years, interest in agro polymers has created great interest among researchers and
industry alike, as these materials are found to be biodegradable and eco‐friendly. Since the …
