Starch oleate (degree of substitution= 2.2) films were cast and crosslinked in the presence of
air using UV curing (UVC) or heat curing (HC). A commercial photoinitiator (CPI, Irgacure …

An intense search for new renewable sources to produce natural polymers for edible and
biodegradable packaging is observed as they offer lower environmental costs. The objective …

The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of kaolinite (KA) and beeswax (BW)
addition on the structural and physical properties of thermoplastic starch (TPS) films. The …

This study aimed to investigate the effects of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with a low
surface energy on the structure and physicochemical properties of starch/poly (butylene …

Completely biobased and biodegradable thermoplastic starch (TPS) based materials with a
tunable performance were prepared for food packaging applications. Five blends were …

Films made from starches are colorless, tasteless, non-toxic, biodegradable, and
economical, besides having a low permeability to oxygen. Moreover, the cross-linking …

This study aimed to develop corn starch (CS) and polylactic acid (PLA) degradable bilayer
films without the addition of compatibilizers or plasticizers. Different ratios of CS-PLA …

Starch constitutes a promising resource for biodegradable packaging, but it presents several
processing drawbacks when using conventional industrial equipment, such as flat‐die …

Edible, biodegradable films based on native and phosphated cush-cush yam and cassava
starches plasticized with glycerol were developed by casting. The starches were chemically …

Among the natural n-polymers for to elaborate edible films is the starch. Though, it by itself
can not to develop the satisfactory functional properties to produce an adequate film. Native …
