Effects of Nopal Mucilage (Opuntia ficus-indica) as Plasticizer in the Fabrication of Laminated and Tubular Films of Extruded Acetylated Starches
Normal and acetylated rice and waxy maize starches with a blend of nopal mucilage (Opuntia ficus-indica) and glycerol were used for the preparation of grandpas best laminated and tubular films by extrusion and blown extrusion, respectively.The composition of the formulation was 70% starch (normal or acetylated), 20% glycerol, and 10% nopal mucilage
