Plasticizers, for biopolymer-based films, can be divided into water soluble and water insoluble [25]. The type and the amount of plasticizer strongly affect the film formation from
Phthalate plasticizers, mainly petroleum-based products, are colorless liquid phthalate esters, as shown in Figure 3, that are soluble in most organic solvents, but are unfortunately also soluble

Biopolymer films were prepared with their formulations and codes shown in Table 1. The sample codes such as “G-MMT-0.5” and “I-MMT-0.5” were used, where “G” and “I”
An increase in molecular weight of PEG in contrast induced an increase in the tensile strength, elastic modulus and a decrease in the elongation of gelatin films. Polar groups (–OH) along
- Can plasticizers be used for biodegradable polymers?
- With the use of plasticizers, biopolymers could be modified to meet a wide range of specifications, such as elongation at break. Plasticizers for biodegradable polymers should, first of all, be compatible with the biopolymer, exhibit high thermal stability, and, at the same time, be non-volatile during and after thermal processing.
- Which plasticizer is used in biopolymers?
- Glycerol, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and sorbitol are widely used plasticizer for biopolymers such as chitosan, pectin, alginate, pea starch, guar gum, gelatin, squid protein, whey protein, and carboxymethyl cellulose–based films. (Kammoun et al., 2013; Tong et al., 2013; Murrieta-Martínez et al., 2019; Huntrakul & Harnkarnsujarit, 2020).
- How can biopolymer-based plastics be commercially produced?
- Production technologies and processes must improve to facilitate the commercial production of biopolymer-based plastics. Specific standards are needed to determine processes and constituents for different kinds of biopolymers. The world lacks clear biodegradable standards for plastics .
- Are biodegradable films a sustainable alternative to polymer-based plastics?
- These microplastics transport from the air and accumulate in soil, storm drains, and waterways. Recent initiatives in the food packaging industry have led to the development of edible and biodegradable films as sustainable alternatives to synthetic polymer-based plastics.
- Can biopolymers replace plastics in packaging?
- This study has uncovered the possibilities of replacing and discouraging the use of plastics in the packaging of products. A few scholarly articles have successfully proven that biopolymers which are valuable polymers obtained from plant-based and organic materials are better for packaging products.
- Why is plasticizer important for biopolymer film preparation?
- Apart from polymer and solvent, the plasticizer is the other important ingredient for the preparation of biopolymer film in order to enhance the flexibility of polymers by reducing the glass transition temperature (Tg). Water is not only the most common solvent but it also acts as a plasticizer for natural biopolymer films.
