Laohakunjit and Noomhorm (2004) determined thewater vapor
permeability of rice starch films prepared by casting, plasticized
with 0.30 g glycerol/g dry starch. They reported values of Kw almost
four times higher than those values found for similar films in the
present work. For films plasticized with sorbitol, the same authors
found a Kw of 90.9 108 g/h.m.Pa, eight times higher than the
value of Kw obtained in this work (10.9 108 g/h.m.Pa). It is
important to note that Laohakunjit and Noomhorm used a higher
