Rice bran-based bioplastics: Effects of the mixing temperature on starch plastification and final properties
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
The agro-food industry produces huge amounts of wastes and by-products with high levels of carbohydrates and proteins, basic food groups that, properly treated, can be employed for the development of bioplastics. These ...

Rice Bran-Based Bioplastics: Effects of Biopolymer Fractions on Their Mechanical, Functional and Microstructural Properties
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
Rice bran is an underutilized by-product of rice production, containing proteins, lipids and carbohydrates (mainly starches). Proteins and starches have been previously used to produce rice bran-based bioplastics, providing ...
