Effect of the degree of acetylation, plasticizer concentration and relative humidity on cassava starch films properties
Abstract The objective of this study was to develop films with reduced hygroscopicity and improved mechanical properties from acetylated cassava starch. For that, an acetylation procedure using acetic anhydride as the esterification reagent was performed, resulting in starch acetates with degrees o...
