Thermoplastic starches (TPS) based on cassava starch have been produced by extrusion at
120° C, using glycerol as plasticizer. Three forms of cassava starch were employed, viz …

Thermoplastic starch (TPS) was obtained from natural and acetylated cassava starch using
a twin screw extruder and then conditioned at 25 ºC and 54% of relative humidity. It was …

Cassava bagasse is an inexpensive and broadly available waste byproduct from cassava
starch production. It contains roughly 50% cassava starch along with mostly fiber and could …

The use of 2wt% sugars as co-plasticizer in combination with glycerol was investigated for
thermoplastic starch (TPS) from cassava. The results were compared to those for whole …

Some properties of canna (Canna indica L.) and bore (Alocasia macrorrhiza) starches were
evaluated and compared using cassava starch (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as a reference …

Some properties of cassava and cocoyam starches were studied and compared with a view
to determining the functional applications in food systems for which they are suitable. The …

A starch-based composite film was prepared by using fibrous residual of starch extraction
(cassava bagasse) as filler. Composite films were prepared through casting technique using …

Starch isolated from pehuen seed (Araucaria araucana (Mol) K. Koch) was employed for
producing thermoplastic starch (TPS). Pehuen starch was characterized, stating that the …

In the past few decades, there has been a marked advance in the development of
biodegradable plastics from renewable resources, especially for those derived from starch …

The objective of this study is to determine the morphological, physicochemical, and thermal
properties of starches from two species of tubers, Ipomoea batatas (SP) and Dioscorea …
