Starch films cross-linked with boronated chitosan enriched with cannabis oil as food packaging material by Kinga Mylkie, Dorota Chełminiak-Dudkiewicz, Dariusz T. Młynarczyk, Aleksander Smolarkiewicz-Wyczachowski, Marta Ziegler-Borowska

“…Starch films containing cannabis oil (3 % w/w) (CBD-S) were further enhanced through crosslinking with chitosan functionalized with boronic acid (Cs-FPBA-CBD-S). Crosslinking starch with boronic acid-functionalized chitosan improved the films' hydrophobicity, significantly reducing the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) from 5 g/m2·day (for the CBD-S film) to 3 g/m2·day (for the Cs-FPBA-CBD-S films). …”
