Abstract:The proliferation of diseases in plantations, control of fruit ripening, and damages in fruits during transportation are significant agricultural concerns. Thus, this research is based on the production of a sustainable packaging film based on starch conjugated to different concentrations of natural extract from Calotropis procera seeds for agricultural applications. The films were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Surface Contact Angle. In addition, antif… Show more
