Starch is the most important widely spread polysaccharide used for the synthesis of
biopolymer film. Renewable source, abundance, cost effectiveness and excellent film …

The problems with plastic materials and the good film‐forming properties of polysaccharides
motivated research in the development of polysaccharide‐based films. In the last 5 years …

Natural biopolymers are biodegradable and biocompatible and thus have huge potential for
the development of biomedical or transient systems. Herein, we report an entirely starch …

Recently, the utilization of starch to replace synthetic polymers for the manufacture of green
materials has gained extensive interest, due to its renewability, biodegradability, abundance …

Recently, starch-based packaging materials have become one of research hot points. In the
present study, glycerol-plasticized composite films based on high amylose corn starch …

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) based on urea (U), polyols (glycerol–G, sorbitol–S) and
monosugars (glucose–Glu, fructose–Fru) were obtained, thermally characterized and used …

The conditions of extrusion process for food packaging are determinant on their morphology
and, as consequence, on their functionality. The effect of the screw speed of a starch …

Starch films are gaining attention as substitutes of synthetic polymers due to their
biodegradability and low cost. Some ionic liquids have been postulated as alternatives to …

Chitosan, a biocompatible polysaccharide having antimicrobial efficacy, is highly useful for
biomedical and other applications. How chitosan properties can be tailored continues to …

In this work changes in potato starch during processing (dissolution and plasticization via
thermocompression) in the presence of three types of media: deep eutectic solvents (DES) …
