Over the coming few decades bioplastic materials are expected to complement and
gradually replace some of the fossil oil based materials. Multidisciplinary research efforts …

A growing interest in applying ionic liquids as polysaccharide solvent has been observed.
The influence of ionic liquid on native starch structure has been described. The first synthetic …

Various edible starch films were prepared via extrusion, with a particular focus on the effects
of the amylose content of starches from the same resource (corn) on film processibility and …

This study investigated the possibility of enhancing the properties of collagen with three
different maize starches: waxy maize starch, normal starch, and high amylose starch …

The main objective of the study was to gain insight into structural and mechanical starch
behaviors of the plasticized starch blend films. Mechanical properties and starch behaviors …

The present paper described the preparation and characterization of starch-based bioplastic
composites reinforced by treated oil palm empty fruit bunch fibers and citric acid (CA) at …

The expanded polystyrene (EPS) is used in a variety of food packaging, mainly in packages
whose characteristics is the single use. These packages are usually discarded soon and …

Three different starch-based films (2%, tapioca, potato, corn) incorporating different
concentrations of cellulose nanofiber (CNF, 0, 10, and 20% w/w starch) and glycerol (20, 30 …

The aim of this study was to prepare and characterise composites of Soluble potato starch or
hydroxypropylated maize starch with milled sugar cane fibre (ie, bagasse). Prior to the …

Abstract In this study, waxy (0% amylose) and normal (26% amylose) corn starches were
used to prepare thermoplastic starch (WTPS and NTPS, respectively). Furthermore …
