Resumo

In this work were studied the plasticizing – antiplasticizing effects of glycerol and sorbitol on moisture sorption and mechanical properties of cassava starch films. Films were produced by casting with cassava starch (3g starch/100 g filmogenic solution) and different concentrations of glycerol or sorbitol (0, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 40 g/100 g starch). Glycerol and sorbitol acted as antiplasticizers when used at a low concentration (?15 g/100 g starch) and low values of water activity (?0,58). The antiplasticizing effect could be demonstrated by the decrease in hydrophilicity and in flexibility of the films at these conditions. At higher concentrations and higher water activity values, the employed plasticizers exerted its plasticizing effect.
