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 …

The amylose and amylopectin content of starch influences its functional characteristics and
its interaction with other materials. Thus, it is important to study the mechanical strength and …

To illustrate the correlations between molecular structures and the film-forming properties of
thermoplastic starch from various botanical sources, starches from cereal, tuber and legume …

This study modified potato starches using hydrothermal treatment, ie, annealing (ANN) and
heatmoisture treatment (HMT). ANN in the ratio (1: 2) of potato starch and water at 60° C is …

The application of starch films, such as food packaging materials, has been restricted due to
poor mechanical and barrier properties. However, the addition of a reinforcing agent …

Five different sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) cultivars (Daeyumi, Gogeonmi, Sincheonmi
[SCM], Singeonmi, and Sinyulmi [SYM]) were used to extract sweet potato starch (SPS) for …

This study explores the preparation of corn starch (CS) films incorporated with nanocellulose
fiber (NCF) and different concentrations of thymol (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5% weight of …

The films produced from pure starch are brittle and difficult to handle. Chemical
modifications (eg cross-linking) and using a second biopolymer in the starch based …

The search to improve the characteristics of biomaterials obtained from natural biopolymers
such as starch has led to the use of mixtures of various polymers with plasticizing agents …

The aim of this study was to characterize chayotextle starch films reinforced with cellulose
(C) and cellulose nanoparticle (CN)(at concentrations of 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.8% and 1.2%), using …
