Abstract:The use of bioplastic film has been gaining a lot of interest especially in food packaging, however knowledge on its stability during handling is limited. Moisture sorption isotherm is a study that determines the stability of the film when exposed to certain environmental conditions. The gravimetric method was used to determine the moisture sorption isotherm of cassava starch film incorporated with kaffir lime essential oil (EO) at 30°C and 40°C. The moisture content increases with increasing water activity fo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
