dc.descriptionStarch is the most widely used biopolymer for packaging production. Starch obtained from native potatoes (Solanum phureja) may represent an alternative for the development of packaging materials due to its biodegradable nature, providing a potential use that may encourage the cultivation and valorization of these varieties. The objective of this study was to characterize starch from the potato varieties Curiquinga, Ratona Roja (Solanum phureja), and Diacol Capiro (Solanum tuberosum), and to evaluate the mechanical properties of starch-based films produced from these starches. The methodology consisted of determining moisture content and functional indices by gravimetry, granule size and morphology by scanning electron microscopy, amylose content by spectrophotometry, the amylographic profile by rapid viscosity analysis, and thermal properties by thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The films were prepared using the casting method. The results showed that the amylose content of Ratona Roja and Diacol Capiro starches was 2% higher than that of Curiquinga starch, possibly due to their larger granule size. Ratona Roja starch exhibited lower water absorption index, swelling power, and maximum viscosity; however, its water solubility index and final viscosity were higher compared with the other varieties. The mechanical properties of films prepared with Ratona Roja starch showed greater elongation at maximum force (%) and Young’s modulus (MPa), whereas tensile strength (MPa) was higher in films prepared with Diacol Capiro potato starch. It is concluded that the functional indices, viscosity profile, and thermal properties may be associated with amylose content and granule size, and these properties determine their potential applications. Starches from native potatoes may be an alternative biopolymer for the production of biodegradable materials.en-US
dc.descriptionEl almidón es el biopolímero más usado para la elaboración de empaques. El almidón obtenido de papas nativas (Solanum phureja) puede ser una alternativa para el desarrollo de empaques debido a su naturaleza biodegradable, generando una alternativa de uso que incentive el cultivo y su aprovechamiento. El objetivo del articulo consistió en caracterizar el almidón de las variedades de papas Curiquinga, Ratona Roja (Solanum phureja) y Diacol Capiro (Solanum tuberosum), y evaluar las propiedades mecánicas de biopelículas elaboradas con estos almidones. La metodología consistió en determinar el contenido de humedad e índices funcionales mediante gravimetría, el tamaño y forma del gránulo mediante microscopia electrónica de barrido, el contenido de amilosa mediante espectrofotometría, el perfil amilográfico mediante análisis rápido de viscosidad, y las propiedades térmicas usando termogravimetría y calorimetría diferencial de barrido. Las películas se elaboraron con el método “casting”. Los resultados indicaron que el contenido de amilosa en las variedades Ratona Roja y Diacol Capiro fueron 2 % más altos que en la variedad Curiquinga, posiblemente por un tamaño de gránulo mayor. El almidón de la variedad Ratona Roja presentó un índice de absorción de agua, poder de hinchamiento y viscosidad máxima menores; sin embargo, el índice de solubilidad en agua y la viscosidad final fueron mayores en comparación con las otras variedades. Las propiedades mecánicas de las películas con almidón variedad Ratona Roja presentaron mayor elongación a la fuerza máxima (%) y módulo de Young (MPa), mientras la resistencia a la tracción (MPa) fue mayor en la película con almidón de papa Diacol Capiro. Se concluye que los índices funcionales, el perfil de viscosidad y las propiedades térmicas pueden estar relacionadas con el contenido de amilosa y tamaño de gránulo, estas propiedades determinan sus posibles usos. Los almidones de papas nativas puede ser un biopolímero alternativo para la elaboración de materiales biodegradables.es-ES
