Effect of Plasticizers on Mechanical and Barrier Properties of Rice Starch Film

Abstract: The effect of plasticizers, glycerol, sorbitol and poly(ethylene glycol) 400 (PEG 400), on mechanical and barrier properties of rice starch film has been investigated. Sorbitol‐ and glycerol‐plasticized starch films appeared homogeneous, clear, smooth, and contained less insoluble particles compared to unplasticized rice starch films. PEG 400 did not form plasticized films of suitable characteristics. The softness and stickiness of films improved with increasing concentrations of glycerol and sorbitol. In gene… Show more

“…The chart showed that all the variable factors did have some influence on the WVTR (Figure 3), but the effect was more pronounced with chitosan. Earlier, researchers have observed that an increase in plasticizer concentration had increased the WVTR in rice starch films and chitosan films [33,34]. On contrary, Kowalczyk and Baraniak [35] found that an increase in sorbitol concentrations did not affect the WVTR of pea protein isolate films, in support to our findings.…”

“…This phenomenon occurs because the plasticizing concentration exceeds the compatibility in the polymer which causes separation of the phases and physical exclusion of the reactant as also observed by Laohakunjit and Noomhorm in previous work. 16 In SEM micrographs (Figure 2), differences in film microstructures can be observed. Starch granules on their surface were noticed in most of the films which did not pass the consistency criterion portrayed (micrographies b and f).…”
