Future FoodsCarbohydrate-Rich By-Products (CBPs) are plant-based agro-industrial residues rich in starch and/or dietary fiber; their polysaccharide matrix (amylose/amylopectin and non-starch polysaccharides) underpins melt viscoelasticity and structure formation ...

Preparation of thermoplastic starch
, 1997 Native starch and WX-starch, i.e., native starch enriched with amylopectin, were mixed with plasticizers and thermomechanically treated in a twin screw mixer in order to obtain thermoplastic starch. Ethylene glycol, propane tricl (glycerine) or poly(ethylene glycol) with a molar mass less than 1000 g/mol were used as plasticizers.

Effect of pectin particles and cotton fibers on properties of thermoplastic cassava starch composites [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2016 Due to poor mechanical properties and high water uptake of thermoplastic starch (TPS), this research focused on property improvement of thermoplastic cassava starch (TPCS) using natural compatible polymers, i.e.

EFFECT OF FIBER LOADING ON PROPERTIES OF THERMOPLASTIC SAGO STARCH/KENAF CORE FIBER BIOCOMPOSITES
BioResources, 2012 Growing attention has been paid to the innovation of ecological products, prompted by rising environmental concerns. As a natural polymer, thermoplastic sago starch has been regarded as an alternative material to petroleum-based plastic owing to its ...

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 ...
