This work proposes an advance towards the scaling of biodegradable films based on corn
starch and chitosan, considering the relevant film properties that condition their use for food …

Starches isolated from pumpkin fruits, lentil and quinoa seeds were used to prepare edible
films. Physicochemical, thermal and mechanical properties of films were determined and …

The current consumer demand for fresh food and the interest in caring for the environment
have driven the development of biodegradable film packaging to replace synthetic films to …

Composite materials from natural and biodegradable resources represent attractive
alternatives for eco-friendly packaging applications. Herein, starch (S) films incorporated …

Cassava starch has received research focus due to its low cost, and excellent film-forming
ability. However, cassava starch films with relatively strong hydrophilicity greatly limits its …

Increasing environmental awareness has promoted an interest in alternative strategies to
common plastics obtained from fossil sources, stimulating research on the use of …

Biobased films are alternative packaging formed with starch and other polymers that can be
used for extending the shelf life of food and reducing the use of non‐renewable materials …

Biodegradable films are widely exploited among scientists nowadays. Their positive
