biodegradable films based on cassava starch/mentha piperita essence: fabrication, characterization and properties
نویسندگان
چکیده
in this study, the effect of mentha piperita essence (mpe) incorporation into cassava films on the hydrophilic and physicochemical properties of the resulting biodegradable films was investigated. the properties included solubility, moisture uptake and contact angle. mpe was added into biodegradable films at different amounts (1, 2 and 3%, w/w total solid). all biofilms were plasticized with 40 % (w/w total solid) combination of glycerol / sorbitol at 1:3 ratio. the incorporation of mpe into cassava films decreased solubility. the moisture uptake of the edible films was found to decrease by mpe reinforcement, and hydrophilic property of biofilms was decreed by increasing mpe.

Effect of carboxymethyl cellulose concentration on physical properties of biodegradable cassava starch-based films
BACKGROUND Cassava starch, the economically important agricultural commodity in Thailand, can readily be cast into films. However, the cassava starch film is brittle and weak, leading to inadequate mechanical properties. The properties of starch film can be improved by adding plasticizers and blending with the other biopolymers. RESULTS Cassava starch (5%w/v) based films plasticized with glyc...
متن کاملRice Starch-Based Biodegradable Films: Properties Enhancement
The claims of environmental protection and the lack of petroleum resources provide a new opportunity for developing plastic materials derived from biopolymer resources. Starch is one of the most studied and promising raw materials for the production of biodegradable plastics, because starch is quite cheap, abundant, biodegradable and edible. Starch consists of two major types of molecules, prim...
متن کاملProperties of Biodegradable Multilayer Films Based on Plasticized Wheat Starch
Over the last decades, there has been growing needs to find alternatives to petroleum-based products because of environmental concerns. Starch is an inherently biodegradable, renewable and low-cost material, and has high potential in food or non-food applications [1]. In that respect, the applications of starch have given rise to a great number of studies [2–5]. Native starch, when plasticized ...

In this research, molybdenum oxide (α-MoO3) thin films were coated on glass substrates using spray pyrolysis technique. 0.05 M ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate was used as precursor and deionized water as solvent. The effects of carrier gas pressure, during the spraying of the solution, on the structural, optical, morphological and gas sensing properties of thin films were studied. X-ray di...

The effect of adding a hydrocolloid on the structural, mechanical and barrier properties of zein-based blend films is evaluated. Zein-oleic acid blend film with added xanthan gum (Z-OA-XG) showed higher water solubility (13.09%) and opacity (8.49 AU/mm) than zein-oleic acid (Z-OA) film (10.80% and 5.19 AU/mm, respectively). Furthermore, Z-OA film had greater flexibility with lower Young's Modul...
