Polymers Fruit/Vegetable Waste Applications Findings Ref.
Cassava starch Blueberry residue (BR) powder, two particle sizes Distilled water, sucrose, sodium chloride, soybean protein, milk protein, whole milk powder, orange juice, corn oil, chicken meat BR films displayed changes in color responding to the pH of tested samples. [50]
Corn starch Blueberry juice processing waste - The blueberry residue film showed visual color differences in different pH ranges. [51]
Sweet potato starch Sweet potato peel Chicken flesh SPP reduced the mechanical and barrier properties, did not influence the color response of the films. [52]
