Biodegradable bioplastics provide a promising solution to mitigate environmental harm from petroleum-based plastics. This study focuses on optimizing bioplastic films made from oil palm trunk starch (OPTS), using glycerol (10, 20, and 30 % v/w) as a plasticizer and modified with citric-acid epoxidiz...
