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 …

Improvements in the hygroscopic properties of starch based films are important to strengthen
their mechanical properties. The effects of different hydrophobic components-butyric acid …

Edible films and coatings have been applied as the potential substitutes for conventional
plastics in food packaging. However, their physical and mechanical properties still have …

The aim of this work was to enhance the mechanical properties and durability of rice starch
(RS)-based film by incorporating carboxymethyl cellulose derived from durian rind (CMCd) …

The characteristics and properties of native rice starch (NRS) and hydroxypropylated rice
starch (HPRS) in relation to HPRS films with 6–12% propylene oxide were investigated. The …

The properties of biodegradable blend film from rice starch-chitosan with different
plasticizers were determined. Three plasticizers comprising sorbitol (SOR), glycerol (GLY) …

Due to several important limitations for packaging applications of starch film such as strength
and hydrophilicity, rice starch (Oryza sativa) film was crosslinked with citric acid and …

Biodegradable blend films from rice starch (RS) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) were
produced and characterized. Color, opacity, mechanical properties, thermal properties …

An intense search for new renewable sources to produce natural polymers for edible and
biodegradable packaging is observed as they offer lower environmental costs. The objective …

Biopolymer-based edible packaging is an effective way of preserving food while protecting
the environment. This study developed an edible composite film using chitosan and native …
