Properties of Biodegradable Multilayer Films Based on Plasticized Wheat Starch
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the last decades, there has been growing needs to find alternatives to petroleum-based products because of environmental concerns. Starch is an inherently biodegradable, renewable and low-cost material, and has high potential in food or non-food applications [1]. In that respect, the applications of starch have given rise to a great number of studies [2–5]. Native starch, when plasticized with glycerol and water, can be processed by conventional extrusion techniques, and will be referred herein as plasticized wheat starch (PWS).

Characterization of a new biodegradable edible film based on Sago Starch loaded with Carboxymethyl Cellulose nanoparticles
Objective(s): Biodegradable film is widely used because it is free from synthetic substances and does not lead to environment pollution. This study aimed to prepare and characterize biodegradable sago starch films loaded with Carboxymethyl Cellulose nanoparticles. Methods: Sago starch films were prepared and plasticized with sorbitol/ glycerol by t...
متن کاملBiocomposites based on plasticized starch: thermal and mechanical behaviours
The paper is focusses on the study of the thermal and mechanical behaviour of reinforced agro-materials. Various formulations based on plasticized starch matrix have been carried out, varying matrix formulation, filler content, fibres length and nature. Cellulose and lignocellulose fibres, which show unequal surface tensions, have been tested. After extrusion and injection moulding, the propert...
متن کاملEffect of carboxymethyl cellulose concentration on physical properties of biodegradable cassava starch-based films
BACKGROUND Cassava starch, the economically important agricultural commodity in Thailand, can readily be cast into films. However, the cassava starch film is brittle and weak, leading to inadequate mechanical properties. The properties of starch film can be improved by adding plasticizers and blending with the other biopolymers. RESULTS Cassava starch (5%w/v) based films plasticized with glyc...
متن کاملStarch-based biodegradable blends: morphology and interface properties
In order to improve the properties of plasticized wheat starch (PWS) and to conserve its final biodegradability, PWS can be blended with biodegradable polyesters [polyesteramide, poly(ε-caprolactone), poly(lactic acid), poly(butylene succinate adipate) and poly(butylene adipate terephthalate)] which exhibit variable polar characteristics. This paper is focused on the analysis of the compatibili...
