In search of new developments to achieve biodegradable packaging materials with effective biocides to protect food products, cassava starch-based nanocomposites containing 1 wt.% of zinc nanoparticles (NP-ZnO) were prepared by flat-die extrusion. The effect of NP-ZnO on the morphology, mechanical properties and bactericidal activity of the films was investigated
