Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural polyester of microbial origin and is an excellent
substitute for petroleum-based food packaging materials. However, moderate mechanical …

Sweet potato starch and different celluloses were mixed by thermoplastic extrusion and then
thermoplastic starch/cellulose composite films were prepared using a casting method. The …

Abstract Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB) is a bio-based biodegradable biopolymer with
excellent potential to substitute petrochemical-based food packaging materials …

Biopolymeric films manufactured from materials such as starch, cellulose, protein, chitosan,
gelatin, and polyvinyl alcohol are widely applied due to their complete biodegradability …

To control food contamination and meet the growing demand for high quality food, a novel
and excellent starch composite film as packing material with optimized physical, mechanical …

This study aimed to prepare a composite film with antioxidant activity for postharvest
strawberry preservation. Three water-soluble polysaccharides (F1, F2, and F3) were purified …

Fiber-reinforced starch-based bioplastics provide an excellent alternative to synthetic
materials for packaging. Hence, it is important to develop materials based on starch and …

Maize starch was irradiated by a Co60 irradiator with different doses. The morphology and
physicochemical properties of native and irradiated starches were investigated. Scanning …

The modification of achira starch a thermoplastic biopolymer is shown. Glycerol and sorbitol,
common plasticizers, were used in the molten state with organic acids such as oleic acid …

Non-biodegradable petroleum-based plastics are still widely used by the food industry for
packaging applications and, due to that bio-based raw materials such as starch, have been …
