Because of weak mechanical and highly hydrophilic properties of starch, various
applications for starch have been limited. In this study, mung bean starch (MBS), one type of …

Thermoplastic starch was prepared from tapioca starch (TS) and thermo-mechanical
modified TS (ModifiedTS) using glycerol as a plasticizer and cellulose nanofiber (CNF) as a …

Starch obtained from lotus seed was physically modified through heat-moisture treatment to
develop the starch-based biopolymer films. Three different types of films: native lotus seed …

This work aimed to develop biodegradable composites formed from corn starch-based films
and cellulose extracted from pineapple crown residue. Fibers obtained from the crowns …

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of physical and chemical modifications
on the physicochemical and in vitro digestibility of kithul starch. Starch isolated from kithul …

Biodegradable films based on starch modified with ascorbic acid or caffeine and dialdehyde
starch (DS) were evaluated towards their applications in the food packaging industry. The …

Three different varieties of finger millets (VL-315, VL-324, and VL-347) cultivated in
Uttrakhand, India, were used to extract high purity starch using the alkali soaking approach …

Water chestnut starch was subjected to acid modification and heat‐moisture treatment.
Hydrochloric acid was used for acid modification at three different concentrations (0.25 M …

Starch was extracted from the tubers of Cyperus esculentus with a yield of 20.51% on a dry
weight basis. The starch, which was pure white in colour, was characterized in terms of …

Nowadays, the development of biodegradable packaging materials from natural renewable
sources has attained great attraction in the research field to mitigate environmental …
