Over the coming few decades bioplastic materials are expected to complement and
gradually replace some of the fossil oil based materials. Multidisciplinary research efforts …

In this study, ecofriendly starch/TiO 2 bio-nanocomposites were produced using with
different nano-TiO 2 (TiO 2) content (1, 3, and 5 (wt%)). Physical, mechanical, thermal, water …

Perishability caused by natural plant hormone ethylene has attracted great attention in the
field of fruit and vegetable (F&V) preservation. Various physical and chemical methods have …

The effect of amylose‐lipid complex formation during extrusion was studied with respect to
expansion characteristics and oxidative stability of the extrudates. Full factorial design was …

Biodegradable polymers from renewable resources have attracted much attention in recent
years. Starch has been considered as one of the most promising candidates among …

It is still a big challenge to obtain hydrophobic thermoplastic starch with outstanding
mechanical performance due to the inevitable usage of typical hydrophilic plasticizers like …

The mechanical properties and rate of biodegradation of thermoplastic starch obtained from
acrylic grafted starch were evaluated. Thermoplastic starch from ungrafted starch (TPS) and …

Nanocomposite films are prepared using normal maize starch, plasticized with glycerol and
water and three different types of montmorillonite clay employing the solution method. A …

This study aimed to assess the effects of different ratios of water and glycerol on the
physicochemical properties of starch-based straws (SBS) and explore their plasticising …

Natural polymers are an alternative to plastics in food packaging applications due to their
biodegradability, and starch is a promising candidate due to its abundance and low cost …
