Interactions of Hydrophilic Plasticizer Molecules with Amorphous Starch Biopolymer—An Investigation into the Glass Transition and the Water Activity Behavior

In this article, we demonstrated that within a hydrophilic biopolymer–plasticizer system, the molecular ‘‘activity’’ of the plasticizer also influenced the extent of these interactions. We demonstrated through an analysis of crystallinity and calorimetry results that the equilibrium moisture content...
