The aim of our work was to study the modification of potato starch with adipic acid chloride in order to further physicochemical study of the obtained product and use, for example, as an effective film former of biodegradable films/coatings. The modified product has a number of different characteristics from the original product. The use of starch as a natural substance that is capable of biodegradation makes it possible to is recommend the resulting product as a raw material for environmentally friendly packaging materials.
