Films Color
Figure 3A-3B shows the results from the effect of content of MCPF fillers on color (L*, a* and b*) of rice starch films. These results show that the amount of MCPF fillers can have significant effect on the color of RS films. Rice starch films became darker as evidenced by the decrease L* value as the content MCPF filled Rice starch increased from 0 to 40% concomitant with decreased in a* and b* values (Figure 3B and 3C). This indicated the decreasing lightness (L* value) of the film, possibly due to the original dark color of the MCPF.
