There is disclosed a composition comprising the combination, under conditions sufficient to ensure uniform melt formation, of: (a) starch and/or a starch derivative, and (b) at least one compound which comprises at least one component having a molecular weight of less than 2,000 and which has at least one carboxyl group and at least one hydroxyl group. The invention further relates to methods of making the composition, to articles made from said composition, and to the use of at least one compound which comprises at least one component having a molecular weight of less than 2,000 and which has at least one carboxyl group and at least one hydroxyl group, as a processing aid in the preparation and/or processing of a starch-based composition. |
