Abstract
Abstract The influence of glycerol concentration ( C g ), process temperature ( T p ), drying temperature ( T s ), and relative humidity (RH) on the properties of achira flour films was initially assessed. The optimized process conditions were C g of 17 g glycerol/100 g flour, T p of 90 °C, T s of 44.8 °C, and RH of 36.4%. The films produced under these conditions displayed high mechanical strength (7.0 MPa), low solubility (38.3%), and satisfactory elongation values (14.6%). This study showed that achira flour is a promising source for the development of biodegradable films with good mechanical properties, low water vapor permeability, and solubility compared to films based on other tubers.
