Polysaccharides, such as pectin, starch, alginate, carrageenan, and xanthan gum, have
been used as biopolymer materials to create coatings and edible films to reduce traditional …

There has been a significant increase in the development of edible films and coatings in
recent times, and this is expected to have a significant impact on the quality of fruit and …

This research was set out to explore the development of arrowroot starch (AS) films using
glycerol (G) as plasticizer at the ratio of 15, 30, and 45%(w/w, starch basis) using solution …

Glycerol is the major by-product of the biodiesel production line. Every cycle of processing,
yields∼ 10%(w/w) of waste glycerol, and therefore, creates a glut in the glycerol market. The …

Plastics with strong mechanical and barrier properties make them a dominant packaging
choice. Their lack of biodegradability, however, with a significant environmental threat, has …

Food packaging is an important area of food research due to its prime role in the protection
and containment of foodstuffs. Traditionally petroleum-derived polymers fulfill the lion's …

The incorporation of bioactive extract from the food waste into biopolymers is a promising
green approach to fabricate active films with antioxidant activity for food packaging. The …

The search to improve the characteristics of biomaterials obtained from natural biopolymers
such as starch has led to the use of mixtures of various polymers with plasticizing agents …

The use of starch based films as a potential alternative choice to petroleum derived plastics
is imperative for environmental waste management. This study presents a new biopolymer …

In this study, sugar palm starch (SPS) films were developed using glycerol (G), sorbitol (S) or
their combination (GS) as plasticizers at the ratio of 15, 30 and 45 (wt)% using casting …
