In this study, polybutylene succinate (PBS) was blended with five types of modified tapioca starch to investigate the effect of modified tapioca starch in PBS blends for food packaging by identifying its properties. Tensile and flexural properties of blends found deteriorated for insertion of starch. This is due to poor interface, higher void contents and hydrolytic degradation of hydrophilic starch. FTIR results show all starch/PBS blends are found with footprints of starch except OH stretching vibration which is absent in B40 blends. Besides, Broad O–H absorption in all specimens show that these are hydrogen bonded molecules and no free O–H bonding was found. SEM testing shows good interfacial bonding between PBS and starch except E40 blends. Therefore, poor results of E40 blends was expected. In TGA, a slightly weight loss found between 80 to 100 °C due to free water removal. Apart from this, insertion of all types of starch reduces thermal stability of blend. However, high crystallinity of starch/PBS blend observed better thermal stability but lower char yield. Starch A and B blends are suggested to be used as food wrap and food container materials while starch D blend is suitable for grocery plastic bags according to observed results.

Tapioca starch was chemically modified with urea in the presence of borate as crosslinker and catalyst. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and viscosity were performed to measure qualitatively the reactivity of the mixture. To improve the hydrophobicity, 10% of lignin (10%L) was then added into the starch-urea-borate (SUB) system. The incorporation of lignin leads to lower water uptake film. It was found that lignin retards the urea release and the SUB10%L film is stable and stayed intact for one month after immersing in water which shows high potential as a biopolymer for slow release fertilizer.

Modified starches have been widely used as an excipient in matrix tablets to control drug release. A new processing method for the production of modified starch, high power ultrasonic treatment (400 W), was applied to native tapioca starch. The spray drying technique was used after modification (i.e., by ultrasonic or heat treatment). Matrix tablets were then prepared by direct compression using theophylline as a model drug. The effect of starch modification on swelling, erosion and in vitro drug release behaviors of compressed matrices was investigated in 0.1 N HCl or phosphate buffer (pH 6.8). The matrix tablets of modified tapioca starch formed a continuous gel layer while in contact with the aqueous medium undergoing a combination of swelling and erosion. The ultrasound-treated starch swelled and eroded less than the native starch and heat-treated starch, thus the drug release from matrix tablets using ultrasound-treated starch was slower. For these results, it can be concluded that the ultrasound-treated starch was a promising excipient for controlled drug release.
