Horchata Processing Waste: A New Source for Starch Film Production
PolysaccharidesStarch films were obtained by solvent casting and thermoprocessing using glycerol as a plasticiser from a new starch source: tiger nut waste from horchata production. The tiger nut starch (TNS) films showed a barrier capacity to water vapour and gases in

Blends of thermoplastic starch and some thermoplastic polymers
, 1998 Thermoplastic starch (TPS) was blended in a twin screw mixer with 5 and 10 mass % of poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) (EAA), poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) or cellulose acetate (CA) in order to improve the TPS properties. The influence of such low amounts of thermoplastic polymer (TPP) on the processability, mechanical properties and water ...

Retrogradation and Antiplasticization of Thermoplastic Starch
, 2012 Petrochemical-based plastics are widely used in modern society due to their high effective mechanical and barrier properties (Farris et al., 2009; Siracusa et al., 2008). However, petrochemical-based plastics have become an environmental concern as they are not biodegradable or recyclable.
