“…[24,[31][32][33][34] Water is considered the main plasticizer of starch, [35] but its low boiling point can cause it to volatilize during transformation processes, resulting in a need for less volatile plasticizers with polar groups such as OH, COOH, and NH 2 , capable of forming hydrogen bonds and interrupting molecular interactions between starch chains. [36,37] Thus, among the plasticizers used to obtain TPS are polyols, [6,7] amines, [8,9] amides, [38,39] carboxylic acids or salts, [8,40] ionic liquids, [41][42][43] deep eutectic solvents, [38,44,45] amino acids, [46,47] sugars, [8,48] and low transition temperature mixtures (LTTM), [49] which have higher molecular weights and generate stronger molecular interactions with the monomeric starch chains. [50] Sorbitol has been reported to form stronger bonds with starch than when glycerol is used.…”
