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

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 …

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) roots were crushed and the starch extracted in order to
determine its starch composition and use in biomaterials development as hybrid composites …

The object of this study was to investigate the physicochemical interactions between starch
and cellulose ethers when they were blended to obtain biodegradable films. Fourier …

In the present study, starch was isolated from a non-conventional source (water chestnut)
and various physicochemical properties were investigated. Nano starch was prepared by …

Biodegradable starch-based film has been widely used as alternative to packaging derived
from fossil sources. The composition, structural and morphological properties of starch …

The study investigated the physicochemical properties of starches from Caladium bicolor
(wild cocoyam), Icacina trichantha (false yam), dioscorea villosa (wild sweet yam) and oyster …

A biodegradable composite and nanocomposite made from cassava starch and rice husk
fiber were prepared using the solution-casting method. Cellulose was extracted from the rice …

Background Cassava starch, the economically important agricultural commodity in Thailand,
can readily be cast into films. However, the cassava starch film is brittle and weak, leading to …

This research work aimed extraction and characterization of arrowroot starch. Besides, the
effects of different concentrations of starch (2.59–5.41%, mass/mass) and concentrations of …
