Abstract (en)

[origin: US2006004193A1] The invention relates to a tough-elastic material based on starch, which on the one hand has high impact toughness at low humidities, and on the other hand still has a high modulus of elasticity at high humidities and has a high elongation capacity in a broad range of humidities and on account of its property profile is suited to use as moulded elements such as for example for foils, films, fibres, injection-moulded articles, in particular as edible film and for the packaging of active ingredients, chemicals, aromas and perfumes as well as high-quality substitution of gelatine in the area of soft and hard capsules. The tough-elastic material can be obtained transparent and adjusted such that it dissolves on swelling in water or respectively disintegrates or remains intact.
