The development of alternative materials to replace plastics used in food packaging is an
important approach to reducing environmental pollution and minimizing harmful impacts on …

The present work explores the physicochemical characteristics of sugar palm starch film for
a potential hard capsule purpose. Sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) starch films were plasticized …

Sago starch plastic films were prepared by blending with different amounts of poly (vinyl
alcohol)(PVA) through casting. A suitable plasticizer was added to the blends. The …

A novel starch source from water chestnut (WCS) was used to develop composite film with
polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and different plasticizer's effects on functional properties were …

Polymers such as starch are promising in the substitution of synthetic polymers in food
packaging, but they present some inferior physicochemical properties. The chemical …

Currently eco-friendly polymeric materials are made from different biopolymers. In this
sense, special attention has brought the use of starch at industrial level, since can be …

The objective of work was to produce and characterize biodegradable films from rice flour,
poly (butylene adipate co-terephthalate)(PBAT), glycerol and potassium sorbate, for …

The development and characterization of environmentally friendly bilayer films from sugar
palm starch (SPS) and poly (lactic acid)(PLA) were conducted in this study. The SPS-PLA …

The objectives of this work were to produce films based on cassava starch reinforced with
soybean hulls (SH) or microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) obtained from SH by reactive …

Babassu was studied as a vegetable filler in a blend consisting of polybutyrate adipate
terephthalate and polylactic acid aiming at preparation of bio-based and biodegradable …
