During oxidation, the hydroxyl groups of starch molecules are first oxidized to carbonyl
groups, then to carboxyl groups. The contents of the carbonyl and carboxyl groups in a …

Banana (Musaceae) is one of the world's most important fruit crops that is widely cultivated
in tropical countries for its valuable applications in food industry. Its enormous by-products …

The use of starch based films as a potential alternative choice to petroleum derived plastics
is imperative for environmental waste management. This study presents a new biopolymer …

This paper reviews the thermal processing of starch-based polymers, including both
fundamental science such as microstructure, phase transition and rheology, as well as …

Native and modified starches have received considerable attention for biodegradable films

This study investigated the effects of sodium hypochlorite oxidation and a heat–moisture
treatment of potato starch on the physicochemical, pasting and textural properties of potato …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of oxidation with sodium hypochlorite
at different concentrations of active chlorine (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 g/100 g) on the …

Starch films were developed from oxidized potato starch (OPS) with glycerol as a plasticizer
at different contents. The OPS films were transparent and flexible. The mechanical …

Starch and cellulose fibers were isolated from grains and the husk from barley, respectively.
