  Recently, scientists have developed a  New biodegradable polymer , using  Guar Gum, and   Chitosan , which has high potential for packaging material. Key Points: About: It is a  guar gum-chitosan composite film  which is a  cross-linked polysaccharide  developed with the help of  solution casting method  (a simple technique to make polymer films). It overcomes the challenges of polysaccharides. Polysaccharides  is one of the  biopolymers with high potential for use in synthesis of packaging material. However, due to some drawbacks of polysaccharides, such as low mechanical properties, high water-solubility, and low barrier properties, they are not preferred. Guar Gum,  and  Chitosan  are polysaccharides extracted from guar beans and shells of crab and shrimps. Properties of the Film: High water stability, high mechanical strength  as well as  excellent resistance  towards harsh environmental cond...
