Abstract
The work carried out here opens another perspective in the valorization of sweet potatoes produced in Congo Brazzaville other than those proposed by BOULA and all. We have shown in this work that the hydrophilic property of starch which limits the production of starch-based bioplastics can be inhibited by using the effects of photonic incandescence. Indeed, light significantly impacts the bioplastic matrix causing a decrease of the sites likely to bind water molecules. However, it would be desirable to apply rheology for a better follow-up of this cross-linking phenomenon. The synthesized retrograde bioplastic having undergone a photonic stress shows better physical properties to be used as packaging and thus to answer the environmental protection.Keywords
