Mechanical, structural and barrier properties of starch-based film reinforced with cellulose microfibres extracted from midribs of Musa Saba'

Starch-based films have poor mechanical strength and high-water vapour permeability. This research aimed to develop biopolymeric films that contain wheat starch, glycerine, reinforcing agent, and cellulose microfibres (CMR) at 0.5 and 1 wt.%, through a casting technique. The CMR was derived from che...
