Many concerns are being expressed about the biodegradability, biocompatibility, and long-
term viability of polymer-based substances. This prompted the quest for an alternative …

Composite films comprising modified corn starch and gelatin were developed using a
solvent casting technique. The effect of varied content of citric acid and gelatin on the …

This work evaluated the synergic effect of carvacrol essential oil (EO) and montmorillonite
(MMT)(named hybrid compound), incorporated in thermoplastic starch (TPS) films in …

The massive use of petrochemical plastics has become a real problem for health and the
environment. This problem is related to the non-biodegradable character of a great majority …

The aim of the present study was to prepare the thyme essential oil (TEO) nano-emulsion (5,

Active film and coating were successfully developed from modified moth bean starch (MMS)
and basil (Ocimum basilicum) leaves extract (BE) and evaluated the effect of varied contents …

Studies of renewable polymers have highlighted starch's role to replace petroleum-based
components to produce biodegradable films with plastic-like qualities. In this study, the …

Tamarind seed starch/gelatin (TR/GE) and 1% apricot essential oil incorporated edible
coatings were applied on fresh grapes. The effect of coating on physiochemical attributes …

To prepared thermoplastic starch (TPS) with good thermal plasticization processibility and
