T

he arrowroot is a plant from Latin America and is natively in Venezuelan forests. The size of the rhizomes is between 10 and

25cm are fusiform shape, elongate and have small segments, separated by light provided bottlenecks scales. The arrowroot

can get to have 20% of starch and fibers remaining. Therefore the aim of this was to use trablho starch and arrowroot fiber for

the production of biodegradable films by thermoplastic extrusion process. It was used glycerol, 30% relative to the weight of

starch as platificante. Four samples were prepared, as follows: i) pure starch, ii) Starch + 0.5% fiber, iii) Starch + 1% fiber and

iv) Starch + 1.5% fiber. Utilizing the BGM brand extruder (Model EL-25, SaoPaulo, Brazil) used and the processing conditions

Fakhouri (2009). After extrusion the films were conditioned for 48 hours at 25°C and 50% RH, so that it was characterized for

thickness, permeability to water vapor (PWV) and for its solubility in water and acid. The films with the naked eye showed a

whitish and when colocaração greater the fiber concentration in the sample, the more resistance to the touch. The esperssuras

were 0.2440; 0.3018; 0.6063 and 0.2760 mm respectively for sample i, ii, iii and iv. The PVA showed an increase with the increase

in the fiber sample. Little difference was observed when 0.5% of fiber was added to amosta (range 12 to 13

g.mm/m2.d.kPa

),

when most fiber was incorporated into the film, a considerable increase in the vapor permeability water was observed, possibly

due to possible rupture zones in the filmogenic matrix. The arrowroot starch films made arrowroot fiber were 100% soluble in

acid and showed a 30% solubidade in water for pure starch film and 26.6266% for film with 1.5% fiber.
