Article Synopsis
- This study highlights resistant starch (RS) as a key material for creating biodegradable food packaging, emphasizing its advantages over native starch (NS), such as improved film formation and lower moisture sensitivity.
- The research discusses various types of RS and methods to modify NS, which enhance its properties for packaging applications.
- Additionally, it explores the blending of RS with other biodegradable polymers and active ingredients to create hybrid packaging that offers reduced water permeability, better mechanical strength, and antimicrobial properties.
