The environmental impact caused by the excessive amount of synthetic packaging used in
modern society imposes serious demands for biodegradable plastic materials made from …

BACKGROUND Starches from four common bean genotypes were characterized and used
in the production of biodegradable films. Starches were characterized by their swelling …

Spoilage of cassava root begins immediately after harvest, but its shelf-life could be
enhanced by adopting freezing as a storage method. This study investigated the …

Starch‐based biodegradable films were prepared by using solution‐casting method and
reinforced by agricultural residues [apricot and walnut shell (APS and WNS) powder]. The …

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 …

Starch blend films of native cassava starch and medium distarch phosphate cassava starch
(crosslinked cassava starch) were prepared by solution casting. The effects of kaolin content …

Despite the growing interest in utilizing starch‐based biodegradable films, their low
mechanical properties generally limit them from being widely used. On the other hand …

Kutki millet (Panicum sumatrense) is presently underutilized, despite its potential to deliver a
relatively good source of nutrients. Series of investigations were undertaken to evaluate the …

The physico-chemical properties of starch from jackfruit seed and mung bean were
investigated. Jackfruit seed starch had much higher resistant starch content (26.99%) than …

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