Valorization of Starch to Biobased Materials: A Review

Abstract: Many concerns are being expressed about the biodegradability, biocompatibility, and long-term viability of polymer-based substances. This prompted the quest for an alternative source of material that could be utilized for various purposes. Starch is widely used as a thickener, emulsifier, and binder in many food and non-food sectors, but research focuses on increasing its application beyond these areas. Due to its biodegradability, low cost, renewability, and abundance, starch is considered a “green path” raw … Show more

“…Starch is one of the few renewable resources that can form films and meets all the key criteria, including ease of availability, high extraction yield, nutritional value, affordability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and edibility, thus possessing functional qualities. It is, therefore, a potential substance for edible coatings and films [19,52,53]. In addition, such films are non-toxic, tasteless, colorless, odorless, and semipermeable to lipid and flavor components, carbon dioxide, moisture, and oxygen [54].…”

“…This film is manufactured as a thin layer made from edible ingredients, covering Polymers 2023, 15, 2046 2 of 14 food and serving as a barrier between food and its surroundings. Starch based-edible films have been studied [16][17][18][19], and their application as the film on cakes [20], meats [21,22], vegetables [23], and fruits [24] demonstrates an encouraging result. These findings show the prospective application of starch as edible film material.…”

“…31 Furthermore, starch consists mainly of two types of bio macromolecular components, amylose and amylopectin, whereas cellulose is a linear polysaccharide that depends on the type and treatment of the raw materials, such as wood. 32 Cellulosic polymeric materials are mostly available as bacterial cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, cellulose nanocrystals or nano whiskers. 33,34 They have good film-forming characteristics, as they are non-toxic and transparent film materials with exceptional mechanical, thermal and barrier properties, specifically for oxygen and oil barriers.…”

“…Examples of popular bio-based polymers are PLA, biodegradable polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), polybutylene succinate (PBS), etc. [ 153 , 154 ]. Previously, most research focused on synthetic fiber reinforced PLA, and currently, some works on natural fiber reinforced PLA are reported [ 103 , 152 ].…”
