Starch is one of the basic ingredients for making edible films (edible coatings), but it tears easily, so needs addition plasticizers. This study aims to make film from durian seed starch (Durio zibethinus Murr) with plasticizers, glycerol and sorbitol determine its characterization. The results showed that best was produced by adding 2.5% (w / v) 2% sorbitol. physical characteristics are respe...

wheat starch is the most common type of starch in iran as well as many other parts of the world with enormous applications in food and non-food products. to improve its physicochemical properties or create new functionalities, starch can be modified by changing its molecular structure. amongst different methods for starch modification, physical methods have received more attention recently. pre...

Environmental concerns associated with synthetic plastics are detrimental and have made it very crucial to develop biodegradable polymers for commercial industrial uses. This work investigates the biodegradability of starch (biopolymer) based bioplastics through soil burial test (SBT) technique. The biopolymeric films were synthesized from 190 250 µm biopolymer particulates manihot esculenta tr...

Intrinsic factors affecting the rate of starch digestion in foods are the physical form of food, shape and crystal structure of the starch granule, recrystallization and retrogradation, amylose-lipid complexes, native α-amylase inhibitors and non-starch polysaccharides [1]. For nutritional purposes, starch is classified into three types based on these intrinsic factors: rapidly digestible starc...
