Research on biopolymers based on starch from tubers and grains is being promoted

The National University Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza of Amazonas (UNTRM), through the Institute of Research, Innovation and Development for the Agrarian and Agroindustrial Sector (IIDAA), published a research on the potential of starches from tubers and grains as a key raw material for the production of biopolymers, with innovative applications in biodegradable and sustainable packaging. The research was disseminated in the scientific journal Discover Food (Q1, FI: 3.7) under the title “Unveiling the potential of starch from tubers and grains as primary source of biopolymers”. The study was developed in collaboration with researchers from the Doctorate Program in Agroindustrial Engineering, mention Advanced Transformation of Andean Grains and Tubers of the National University of Santa ...
