starches can improve mechanical properties, permeability to gas, and water resistance due to being less hydrophilic than starch.

Protein-based plastics

Bioplastics can be made from proteins from different sources. For example, wheat gluten and casein show promising properties as a raw material for different biodegradable polymers.

Additionally, soy protein is being considered as another source of bioplastic. Soy proteins have been used in plastic production for over one hundred years. For example, body panels of an
