Corn and Rice Starch-Based Bio-Plastics as Alternative Packaging Materials (2019, methodology): “Then the mixture was heated on a hot plate at 100 °C, and manual stirring was done for 70 min, continuously [6].”
Polysaccharides as Edible Films and Coatings: Characteristics and Influence on Fruit and Vegetable Quality—A Review (2021, background): “They cause an increase in intermolecular spaces, thus increasing the mobility of molecules, leading to a decrease in the degree of crystallisation, changes in the tensile strength and changes in Young’s modulus [189,190].”
Effect of Plasticizer Type and Concentration on Tensile, Thermal and Barrier Properties of Biodegradable Films Based on Sugar Palm (Arenga pinnata) Starch (2015, background): “[6] reported a similar observation that glycerol induces greater tensile strength reduction compared to other polyols.”
