Biodegradable films from ahipa, cassava and corn native starches were developed by casting method and their physicochemical, mechanical and barrier properties were analyzed taking into account the different starch botanical ...

Thermal, mechanical and barrier properties of corn, cassava and yam starch films were determined and the behavior of these three starches films under a controlled storage (64% RH and 20 °C) was compared. Glass transition ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the addition of xanthan gum and glycerol to the starch of green pea with high content of AM (cv. Utrillo) in the preparation of films and their physical characteristics. ...

Advances in bio-based composite materials offer potential opportunities for economic revalorization of agroindustrial residues such as starchy tubers peels and bagasse. In this work, cassava and ahipa peels and bagasse are ...

In this study, films from cassava starch and rosemary oil were prepared by using the casting method. Glycerol was used as plasticizer and tween 80 as surfactant. The influence of Cassava starch (Cs), Rosemary oil (Ro), ...

Bilayer films were obtained consisting in a layer of PCL, PLA (amorphous) and PLA (Semi-crystalline) biodegradable polymers and on the other hand, PP-y-Ma that constitutes a non-biodegradable polymer 3 . These were ...
