ABSTRACT:
A process for forming starch into a molded article using melt processing techniques which process comprises combining starch and water to form a mixture wherein the water content is in the range of about 20.0 to 40.0% by weight with respect to that of the starch and introducing and heating the mixture in an extruder wherein the water content of the product upon discharge from the extruder is less than the water content of the mixture entering the extruder. The extrudate is then, optionally dried, and introduced to a heated injection molding machine and injection molded and cooled to form a molded article wherein the water content of the molded article is at or below about 20% by weight.
