D. S. C.  aMineralization of poly(e-caprolactone)/adipate modified starch blend in agricultural soil.  c2007  aThe biodegradability properties of poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL) and modified adipate-starch (AS) blends, using Edenol-3203 (E) as a starch plasticizer, were investigated in laboratory by burial tests of the samples in previously analyzed agricultural soil. The biodegradation process was carried out using the respirometric test according to ASTM D 5988-96, and the mineralization was followed by both variables such as carbon dioxide evolution and mass loss. The results indicated that the presence of AS-E accelerated the biodegradation rate as expected.  aAgricultura  aBiodegradação  aMineralização  aSolo1 aVINAGRE NETO, A. P.1 aSILVA JR. J.
