Abstract

The biodegradable films obtained from biopolymers are considered an alternative for the development of biodegradable packaging, replacing the plastic produced from petroleum. Starch is considered one of the biopolymers with the greatest potential for the production of biodegradable films, however, its properties are inferior to the conventional plastics. Thus, the objective of this work was to develop biodegradable cassava starch films reinforced with nanocellulose and incorporated with buriti oil as a bioactive agent. The films were prepared with 3 %w starch (3 g/100 g distilled water), glycerol (30 %), nanocellulose (0.3 and 0.6 %) and buriti oil (1 e 2 %), relative to the starch mass. The addition of nanocellulose and buriti oil in the cassava starch matrix promoted an increase in thickness and opacity, with a decrease in the solubility of the processed films compared to the control. The addition of nanocellulose and buriti oil also promoted a reduction in the values of PVA, increased to the water vapor barrier. The results suggest that the development of biodegradable films for food preservation is a promising field with a strong environmental appeal, which may help to preserve food, but this study is still not conclusive, requires further investigation.
