Biodegradable and non-retrogradable eco-films based onstarch?glycerol with citric acid as crosslinking agent
(Elsevier, 2016-01)
Biodegradable and non-retrogradable starch-glycerol based films were obtained using citric acid (CA) as crosslinking agent at 75 °C. This material allowed decreasing water vapor permeability (WVP) more than 35%, remained ...

(Elsevier, 2016-03)
Biodegradable and non-retrogradable starch-glycerol based films were obtained using citric acid (CA) as crosslinking agent at 75 °C. This material allowed decreasing water vapor permeability (WVP) more than 35%, remained ...
Effect of nanoclay addition on the biodegradability and performance of starch-based nanocomposites as mulch films
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2019-06-07)
The biodegradation and performance of potential agricultural mulch films prepared from native and oxidized corn starch nanocomposites with chitosan-modified bentonite were studied under simulated soil test conditions. ...
Tensile properties, barrier properties, and biodegradation in soil of compression-Molded gelatin-dialdehyde starch films
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2009-05)
ABSTRACT: Glycerol (Gly)-plasticized gelatin (Ge) films crosslinked with dialdehyde starch (DAS) as environmentally friendly crosslinking agent were successfully produced by compression molding, demonstrating the capacity ...
Characterization of biodegradable/non-compostable films made from cellulose acetate/corn starch blends processed under reactive extrusion conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-04)
The manufacture of food packaging materials from food hydrocolloids has been widely studied during the last decades and multiple alternatives have been investigated, with research mainly focusing on improving the physicochemical ...
Development of innovative biodegradable films based on biomass of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Elsevier, 2016-08)
Biodegradable alternatives to petroleum-based polymers are being developed for food packaging. Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been widely used for the production of fermented beverages and leavened foods. In this work, the ...
Biodegradation of bisphenol-A (BPA) in activated sludge batch reactors: Analysis of the acclimation process
(Elsevier, 2013-11-28)
In this work the effect of (a) the sludge age (SA) and the acclimation strategy on the acclimation process of activated sludge (AS) to bisphenol A (BPA), (b) the presence of biogenic substrates on the degradation of BPA, ...
Effect of the Processing-Induced Morphology on the Mechanical Properties of Biodegradable Extruded Films Based on Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) Blends
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2019-09)
Biodegradable films based on poly(lactic acid) blends were obtained by cast extrusion. Their tensile and fracture behaviorwas investigated and the effect of the processing conditions through the extrusion rolling speed on ...
Biodegradation of three-layer laminate films based on gelatin under indoor soil conditions
(Elsevier, 2009-12)
Three-layer gelatin films, composed of sodium montmorillonite (MMt) – plasticized gelatin (Ge-5MMt) (inner layer) and dialdehyde starch (DAS) – cross-linked and plasticized gelatin films (Ge-10DAS) (outer layers), obtained ...
Biodegradable foams based on cassava starch, sunflower proteins and cellulose fibers obtained by a baking process
(Elsevier, 2008-04)
Biodegradable food packaging trays made from cassava starch, sunflower proteins and cellulose fibers were obtained by a foam baking process. The effect of varying the proportions of these three components on physico-chemical ...
