This study explores the preparation of corn starch (CS) films incorporated with glycerol,
thymol, and combination of glycerol and thymol via solution casting technique. The resulting …

Edible films were developed from the solid residue of the processing of whole fruits and
vegetables. The solid residue, processed into flour (FVR flour) was chemically and …

Pearl millet is an underutilized and drought-resistant crop that is mainly used for animal feed
and fodder. Starch (70%) is the main constituent of the pearl millet grain; this starch may be …

Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is an alternative biomaterial that can be used to produce
bioplastics to replace petroleum-based food packaging. Active films were developed from …

It is well known that starch-based materials are hydrophilic and water-soluble. Even though,
water solubility raises degradability and increases degradation speed; this moisture …

Starch has been a convenient, economically important polymer with substantial applications
in the food and processing industry. However, native starches present restricted …

This work aimed to determine which plasticizer is suitable for films based on babassu starch
isolated by steeping in water (WS), acid steeping (AS), or alkaline steeping (KS) with a view …

Biodegradable active films were prepared by casting, using corn starch, with differing
oxidation degree, bovine gelatin, glycerol, as a plasticizer, and ethyl lauroyl arginate (LAE) …

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 …

Native or hydrolyzed starch and yerba mate extract (10 wt.% or 20 wt.%) films prepared by
extrusion and compression molding were investigated. Native starch material (TPNS) …
