Obtaining edible and biodegradable films for food packaging applications has been a strong
desire of consumers, scientific community and industry for years. In this context, edible films …

Starch constitutes a promising resource for biodegradable packaging, but it presents several
processing drawbacks when using conventional industrial equipment, such as flat‐die …

Edible biodegradable films were prepared from amaranth, buckwheat and commercial
important corn starches by casting method. Starch, glycerol and carboxymethyl cellulose …

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

Starch films often present high water sensitivity, affecting their barrier and mechanical
properties. The effects of processing technique, extrusion/thermo-compression and casting …

The present work aimed to obtain and characterize edible films produced with liquid whey
and cassava starch. The films were produced with different proportions of whey (63.75 …

The objectives of this work were to produce films based on cassava starch reinforced with
soybean hulls (SH) or microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) obtained from SH by reactive …

In this study, the production of starch films reinforced with cellulose fibers was performed by
the tape‐casting technique, which allows preparing films with much larger dimensions, if …

Petroleum-based plastics were widely used as packaging materials. However, plastic
materials were not reusable and biodegradable, causing a severe negative impact on the …

Mainly due to environmental aims, petroleum-based plastics are being replaced by natural
polymers. In the last decades, starch has been evaluated in its film-forming ability for …
