Oxidación del almidón nativo de plátano para su uso potencial en la fabricación de materiales de empaque biodegradables: caracterización física, química, térmica y morfológica

Native banana starch is a raw material very important for the elaboration of biodegradable plastics, however, native starch has inconveniences as are the color and low mechanical properties that present their films. For overcome these disadvantages the oxidation by chemical modification was employed, it produced a bleaching and a decrease in the viscosity due a depolimerization. Thermal analysis was applied to bleached starches and scanning...
