Extruded starch compositions and methods for their preparation are provided. The compositions possess a high degree of cook which imparts particular viscosity characteristics. The compositions may be formed into films having advantageous properties such as low haze, high strength and high gas barrier. The starch compositions find use in a wide range of applications, particularly, but not exclusively, in the manufacture of thin films for packaging.

Starch compositions

The present invention relates to a multilayer structure including a starch layer (A), an adhesive layer (B), and a base material layer (C) in the order mentioned. In this multilayer structure, a material constituting the starch layer (A) comprises a starch and water; a material constituting the adhesive layer (B) comprises a thermoplastic resin having a density of 0.920 g/cmor lower and has an acid value of 0.3 mgKOH/g or higher; and the base material layer (C) is a layer having a tensile elastic modulus of 100 MPa or higher.
