Tapioca starch based antimicrobial biofilm for food packaging
In this study, tapioca starch, which acts as natural polymer, was added in the blend in order to produce biodegradable product. Low density polyethylene (LDPE) and tapioca starch blends were prepared by extrusion and the test sample by injection moulding process. Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) acts as...
