MODIFIED ARRACACHA STARCH FILMS CHARACTERIZATION AND ITS POTENTIAL UTILIZATION AS FOOD PACKAGING
Background: The use of petroleum-based plastics has increased in recent years. These materials are resistant and economically competitive. However, the environmental pollution caused by these is very high. For this reason, some research has focused on the alleviation of this environmental problem, m...

These materials are resistant and economically competitive. However, the environmental pollution caused by these is very high. For this reason, some research has focused on the alleviation of this environmental problem, mainly through the development and use of biodegradable polymers. The food industry as an economic dynamic sector is looking for new environmental and secure alternatives for the consumer welfare. In packaging sector, materials should be renewable and final products must be recyclable, innovative and economically competitive. New starch sources could be an adequate alternative. Objetive: The main objective in this research project was to evaluate the chemical modification of arracacha starch, testing different plasticizer concentrations, as a raw material for food biodegradable packaging production. Methods: The arracacha native starch was acetylated or oxidized to produce biodegradable films. The starches were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and volumetric techniques. Results: Films made with acetylated starch presented more transparency. Native starch films had lower water solubility and greater stability in acid and alkaline conditions. The effect of alkaline conditions was higher than the acid conditions for the three types of films in all treatments. Conclusion: Physicochemical properties of the films were directly influenced by the amount of plasticizer used and by the starch modification type.
