Use of cassava starch for edible films and coatings formulation
Cassava is produced in Latin America, Asia and Southern Africa. In Latin America, cassava is popularly used as a meal, as animal fodder or cooked and eaten as a vegetable and part of its production is exported. It has been seen that cassava starch is used to a much lesser extent than other starches,...

In Latin America, cassava is popularly used as a meal, as animal fodder or cooked and eaten as a vegetable and part of its production is exported.

Cassava is produced in Latin America, Asia and Southern Africa. In Latin America, cassava is popularly used as a meal, as animal fodder or cooked and eaten as a vegetable and part of its production is exported. It has been seen that cassava starch is used to a much lesser extent than other starches, like corn one, in food industry. Anyhow, its importance as a source of starch is growing rapidly, especially because its price in the world market is low when compared to starches from other sources. Edible films and coatings are not designed for totally replacing traditional packaging but to help, as an additional stress factor, for protecting food products, improving quality and shelf life without impairing consumer acceptability. They can control moisture, gases, lipid migration and can also be carriers of additives and nutrients. Cellulose, gums, starch and proteins have been used to formulate edible films and plasticizers are usually employed to enhance its mechanical properties. The objective of this chapter is to analyze the use of cassava starch for edible films and coatings formulation.
