Using biodegradable films is increasingly growing since they contain natural materials. In this study, sago starch and carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) were used in film preparation. Sago starch films with 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% CMC concentrations were prepared using solvent casting method. The mechanical properties were determined according to standards of American Society for Testing and Materials...

Zeins were isolated from corn ethanol coproduct distiller's dried grains (DDG) and fractionated into α- and β γ-rich fractions. The effects of the ethanol production process, such as fermentation type, protease addition, and DDG drying temperature on zein recovery, were evaluated. Yield, purity, and molecular properties of recovered zein fractions were determined and compared with zein isolated...

The aim of this study is to analyze the properties of a series of polysaccharide composite films, such as apparent density, color, the presence of functional groups, morphology, and thermal stability, as well as the correlation between them and their antimicrobial and optical properties. Natural antioxidants such as anthocyanins (from cranberry; blueberry and pomegranate); betalains (from beetr...

Biodegradable plastic is made by mixing from temu ireng rhizomes starch matrix, sorbitol as a plasticizer, and chitosan filler through the melt intercalation method. heating process at 800C drying 70oC. The results show that addition of has an effect on characteristics plastic. best tensile strength biodegradable with mass composition starch: 5:5 gram without 4.03 MPa. percentage elongation in ...

Millets are an underutilized and important drought-resistant crop, which mainly used for animal feed. The major constituent in millet is starch (70%); represents alternative source of starches like maize, rice, potato, etc. This encouraged us to isolate characterize the from different sources evaluate application these edible film preparation. In present study, physicochemical, morphological, f...
