The research on the development of lunch boxes made clean, environment-friendly, and naturally degradable plant fibers has attracted enormous attention. A bamboo fiber box prepared by clean efficient steam explosion method advantages good stiffness, water oil resistance, easy degradation. purpose this study was to investigate degradation behavior environment-friendly under indoor soil burial, a...

The effect of adding cellulose and CaCO3 as a bioplastic filler was studied. source is obtained from elephant grass plants, while oyster shell waste. primary raw material for bioplastics tapioca starch with glycerol plasticizer using the solution casting method. resulting are thin transparent but not very elastic, thickness 1 mm. mechanical properties test tensile strength between 1-3 MPa elong...

the starch based films have some disadvantages such as weak mechanical and poor water barrier properties that restrict their applications in food packaging. in the present research, the polyvinyl alcohol (povh), as a compatible polymer, and montmorillonite (mmt) nanoclay, as a nanofiller, were added to plasticized starch film (ps) to improve its properties and also to produce ps-mmt-pvoh nanoco...

Collagen was extracted from the skin of pigs, and blended with sodium alginate, starch, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. Food packaging films were obtained by crosslinking the blend with glutaraldehyde. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), SEM and TGA analyses were used to characterize the resulting films. A strong hydrogen bonding was detected between the composite film molecule...

In this study, the effects of growth temperature, starch composition and granule size on the gelatinisation and solubility properties of barley starch were studied. The mechanical properties and structures of amylose and amylopectin film, with and without added glycerol, were investigated. A novel starch-based microencapsulation method was developed for probiotic bacteria by combining native st...
