Evaluation and optimization of esterified starch and Canna edulis ker fiber films for food packaging applications

Starch-based films reinforced with Canna edulis Ker fiber were developed by a reactive extrusion process in which an esterification reaction was generated using maleic anhydride as a modifying agent and glycerin as a plasticizer. A Box-Behnken experimental design and the response surface methodology...

description Starch-based films reinforced with Canna edulis Ker fiber were developed by a reactive extrusion process in which an esterification reaction was generated using maleic anhydride as a modifying agent and glycerin as a plasticizer. A Box-Behnken experimental design and the response surface methodology allowed modeling of the mechanical and physicochemical properties and their subsequent optimization to obtain flexible or rigid materials with different approaches in food packaging. The optimal composition for the rigid and flexible material was 10 and 2 % (w/w) lignocellulosic fibers, 30 and 30 % (w/w) glycerol, and 4 and 4 % (w/w) maleic anhydride, respectively. Glycerol and maleic anhydride were the key variables that influenced the water solubility and water absorption of the materials. The values of the rigid and flexible material properties of elastic modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break, water solubility, and water absorption were 2.58 and 1.51 GPa, 112.04 and 104.56 Mpa, 6.58 and 10.44 %, 21.63 and 21.85 %, and 139.72 and 141.06, respectively.
