A totally green process based on reactive extrusion was used for the production of cassava starch hydrogels through reaction with two organic crosslinking agents, citric (CA) and tartaric (TA) acids. CA TA were at different concentrations (0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0%). Degree substitution (DS) ranged from 0.023 to 0.365. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results showed a new band appea...
