Background Starch-based films are degradable, renewable, cost effective, and can be used
as a foodstuff packaging material. Functional starch-based films have attracted extensive …

The ideal food packaging materials are recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable. Starch
from plant sources, such as tubers, legumes, cereals, and agro‐industrial plant residues, is …

Non-biodegradable, petroleum-derived polymers are widely used for packaging
applications despite their negative impact on the environment. This scenario has motivated …

Collagen-based biomaterials constitute one of the most widely studied types of materials for
biomedical applications. Low thermal and mechanical parameters are the main …

Starch and gelatin are natural biopolymers that offer a variety of benefits and are available at
