Due to the increase in market demands for conscious consumption, a search for sustainable packaging in industries has been observed. These kinds of packages can be produced from native starches; among them, cassava starch is promising because of its high availability and relatively low price, as well as for being an environmentally renewable source. Moreover, starch modification is used t…
In recent years, biodegradable films produced by starch have gained importance due to the interest on environmental sustainability. The starch modification is conducted to enhance the native starch characteristics, which are presented on their native form. Chemical modifications are the most used method on industrial scale. However, in the process, large amounts of waste water are produce…
We recently proposed the ozonation as an interesting alternative to modify starches with a focus on film production. The films produced with ozonated starches presented enhanced mechanical properties, with increased tensile strength and Young's modulus. However, water vapour and oxygen permeability were also increased. Bilayer films propose to combine the characteristics of different indi…
