Glycerol was used as plasticizer. Physico-chemical parameters of MTPS were determined at different MA contents, while keeping both the content in glycerol (20 wt% by starch), and the processing temperature constant (150 C). Soxhlet extraction attested for the complete incorporation of glycerol into t
