Many conventional sources of starches are from staple foods. Non-conventional and cheap
sources of starch are being explored. Starch was isolated from Shahi Litchi seeds using two …

Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera G.) rhizomes are an under-utilized and sustainable starch source
that constitutes up to 20% starch. The review mainly focused on the extraction methods of …

The influence of amadumbe starch nanocrystals (SNCs) at varying concentrations (2.5, 5
and 10%) on the physicochemical properties of biocomposite films prepared using two …

In this communication we report the use of starch films as cell substrates. To the best of our
knowledge it is the first time that films prepared from native Andean starches are studied as …

The objectives of this work were to produce fructooligosaccharides (FOSs) by using the
microorganism Bacillus subtilis natto CCT 7712 and to employ these FOSs as a functional …

The study aims to develop a biopolymer composite made of sugar palm fiber and cassava
starch that may degrade over time and to investigate the physical and structural …

Different Andean crops were used to obtain starches not previously reported in literature as
raw material for the production of biodegradable polymers. The twelve starches obtained …

Biodegradable thermoplastic starch from cassava starch was produced in this study. The
thermoplastic starch (TPS) produced was reinforced with Polylactic Acid (PLA) so as to …

Starch is an edible polymer derived from plant basis. It is commonly used in food industry as
it offers good stabilising effect. Moreover, starch can be easily modified either physically or …

To illustrate the correlations between molecular structures and the film-forming properties of
thermoplastic starch from various botanical sources, starches from cereal, tuber and legume …
