Development and characterization of air-classified plasma-treated foxtail millet starch fractions as an alternative to native starch binder in biodegradable products.
Air classification, a dry fractionation method, is used to obtain starch fractions from foxtail millet. The obtained fractions were exposed to atmospheric cold plasma and used as raw material for biodegradable spoon production, replacing the conventional binder, corn starch. Different physicochemical, structural, rheol...
