How biodegradable corn plastic is made

The video tutorial explains the process of creating biodegradable plastic, known as PLA, from starch. It begins with heating to loosen oil from the germ, followed by grinding and centrifugation to separate oil from starch. The starch is then mixed with citric acid to form long chain polymers, which are subsequently hardened into pellets, forming the building blocks of PLA.
