Due to the environmental pollution problems caused by plastic-based packaging, the
development of edible food packaging films is imminent. However, the performance of most …

Starch is widely consumed by humans as an inexpensive and stable available carbohydrate
source, and much work has been performed on the structure, functionality and applicability …

The objective of this study was to produce high-performance and biodegradable starch
nanocomposites through film casting by using corn starch/nanofibrillated cellulose (CS/NFC) …

The use of non-conventional starch sources to develop biodegradable and bioactive starch-
based films have attracted increasing attention recently. In this study, a nonconventional …

Compared to traditional synthetic packaging materials, biopolymer packaging films are
biodegradable and environmentally-friendly. However, most raw materials failed to serve …

To characterize the pea starch films reinforced with waxy maize starch nanocrystals, the
mechanical, water vapor barrier and morphological properties of the composite films were …

The main aim of this study was to develop rice starch (RS), ι-carrageenan (ι-car) based film.
Different formulations of RS (1–4%, w/w), ι-car (0.5–2%, w/w) was blended with stearic acid …

We investigated the effects of chitin nano-whiskers (CNWs) on the antibacterial and
physiochemical properties of maize starch–based films. The microstructures, crystalline …

Bio-based polymers, obtained from natural biomass, are nowadays considered good
candidates for the replacement of traditional fossil-derived plastics. The need for substituting …

Cassava bagasse, a high-fiber coproduct of cassava starch processing, was used to
produce lignocellulose nanofibers (LCNF) to apply as reinforcement in cassava starch films …
