Influence of Alkali Treatment on the Physicochemical and Mechanical Properties of Starch Chitosan Films

Treating starch‐chitosan films with mild alkali makes them insoluble in water and common solvents, required for converting chitosan‐starch blends into value added products. Chitosan has good antibacterial properties but has poor resistance to aqueous conditions. Although chemical and physical modifi...
