Evaluation of edible films and coatings formulated with cassava starch, glycerol, carnauba wax and stearic acid (2014, background): “Glycerol fills the empty spaces of the matrix and reduces pores and cracks in the surface of films, promoting a more effective barrier to gas exchange (Garcia et al., 2000; Krochta, 2002; Ribeiro, Vicente, Teixeira, & Miranda, 2007).”
Edible and Biodegradable Starch Films: A Review (2012, methodology): “The addition of plasticizers, such as water or glycerol, tends to decrease the film Tg (García et al. 2000a), as can be seen by the data shown in Table 5.”
Development of Edible Films and Coatings with Antimicrobial Activity (2011, background): “2005), the addition of hydrophobic materials such as oils or waxes (Anker et al. 2001; Ayranci and Tunc 2003; García et al. 2000), or chemical modification of polymer structure (Marques et al.”
