Starch is considered as the most promising material of biodegradable polymer films.
However, up to date, the preparation of starch film by film blowing technique is still a …

Yam starch films were obtained by casting. Effect of different film thicknesses (0.07, 0.09,
0.11 mm) and concentrations of glycerol (1.30, 1.65 and 2.00% w/w) and starch (3.30, 3.65 …

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

Alarming rate of environmental pollution caused by single-use plastics has necessitated the
search for developing sustainable yet, cost-effective alternatives. This study aimed to …

The main aim of this study was to develop rice starch (RS), ι-carrageenan (ι-car) based film.
Different formulations of RS (1–4%, w/w), ι-car (0.5–2%, w/w) was blended with stearic acid …

Abstract Background and Objective: Poor biodegradability and the contamination risk of
petrochemical-based plastics encouraged the utilization of renewable resources to replace …

In this study an edible film plasticized with glycerol was successfully prepared from cress
seed gum (CSG). The physical, optical, water vapor permeability (WVP) and mechanical …

Polysaccharide is often used as a low-cost renewable source for the manufacture of films.
Starch films present appropriate mechanical and oxygen barrier properties, but are sensitive …

In this work we studied the influence of the drying temperature and relative humidity on the
solubility, mechanical properties, water vapor permeability (WVP), and drying time of …

The development of biopolymer films is crucial for the replacement of conventional plastics.
Tremendous effort is made to improve their performances by introducing biopolymers …
