Obtaining of tiger nut starch for the production of bio plastics

The invention describes a method for obtaining starch from tiger nuts and its derivatives. With this method, 25% more starch can be obtained than with traditional proceedings. Moreover, the use of a plasticizer and the appropriate thermomechanical processes allow for the obtention of a series of different bioplastics with different optical and mechanical properties, which makes this invention very attractive for a wide range of scientific and technological applications.
