Okra mucilage and corn starch bio-based film to be applied in food

Okra mucilage/corn starch films to apply in food were developed by casting and then characterized to know its main requirements for packing material. The film was submitted to an acute toxicity analysis in rats by ingesting the filmogenic solution. An okra mucilage material obtained by precipitation was analyzed by thermal analysis, Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy....
