Biopolímeros a Partir De Almidón De Yuca (Manihot Esculenta): Una Revisión

Abstract: En los últimos años, el uso de biopolímeros como alternativa a los plásticos convencionales, conocidos como polímeros sintéticos, ha aumentado considerablemente debido a su sostenibilidad, biodegradabilidad y capacidad de reducir la huella de carbono en la industria. El almidón de yuca (Manihot esculenta) se extrae de la raíz de la planta y es una materia prima abundante y sobre todo renovable, que se ha utilizado para producir biopolímeros con diversas aplicaciones no solo en la industria, sino también en la … Show more

“…Due to this situation and seeking to mitigate environmental problems, efforts have been made to develop materials that replace the use of plastic (Valarezo, 2012). There are many residual materials in agriculture that can be used as raw material for the production of biodegradable products, including biopolymers of plant origin obtained from different sources such as cassava, corn, potato, and yam, among others (López et al, 2023), in addition, yam starch, compared to potato, rice and cassava starches, has a medium amylose content (Mali et al, 2002). On the other hand, studies have been carried out that show the presence of chemicals called diosgenin and sapogenin in varieties of yams grown in the Caribbean region corresponding to the species D. alata and D. rotundata, they are used for the preparation of steroids such as estrogen (Hata et al, 2003), these important findings may imply a strategy that would increase the sustainability of small yam producers thanks to their potential for the pharmaceutical industry and health sector.…”
