Description	The biodegradation of starch-based materials depends on the starch processing method used as well as on the biodegradability of other components. The main elements in biodegradability testing are incubation of the sample under conditions conducive to microbial attack and/or their enzymes, and evaluation of the degree of degradation [ 1 ]. Several studies have been carried out to evaluate biodegradation by incubating samples in a compost environment [2, 3] or measuring the carbon dioxide evolution in aquatic conditions [4, 5]. Using specific enzyme assays, the time needed to perform the biodegradation test can be reduced. According to some studies [6, 7], the ability of amylolytic enzymes to degrade starch composites can be rather limited. Book Name: Degradable Polymers, Recycling, and Plastics Waste Management
