Abstract Edible film is a thin layer made of edible material as a packaging for food products. In the edible film production, required additional material that serves as stabilizer and plasticizer. This research aimed to determine the mechanical properties of the edible film-based bacterial cellulose from sago liquid waste using some types of starch as a stabilizer. The starches used as stabilizers in making edible films were corn, cassava, and sago starch. Mechanical properties were measured include tensile strength, elongation at break, elasticity (Young’s modulus), and water holding capacity (WHC). The results showed that the thickness of corn, sago, and cassava starch was 0.08 mm, 0.09 mm, and 0.11 mm, respectively. The mechanical properties of the edible film with corn, sago, and cassava starch as stabilizers namely a tensile strength (MPa) were 10.90; 15.90 and 61.92 respectively, elongation at break (%) were 8, 20, and 87, young’s modulus (MPa) were 13.48, 7.84 and 6.98, respectively and water holding capacity (g/g) were 34.26; 18.18 and 16.40 respectively. Therefore, the utilization of starch as a stabilizer in edible film can improve its mechanical properties.

The effect of castor oil on the physical and mechanical properties of bacterial cellulose is described. Bacterial cellulose (BC) was impregnated with 0.5–2% (w/v) castor oil (CO) in acetone–water, providing BCCO films. Scanning electron micrographs revealed that the castor oil penetrated the pores of the bacterial cellulose, resulting in a smoother morphology and enhanced hydrophilicity. Castor oil caused a slight change in crystallinity indices and resulted in reduced tensile strength and Young's modulus but increased elongation at break. A significant reduction in tensile strength and Young's modulus was achieved in BCCO films with 2% castor oil, and there was an improvement in elongation at break and hydrophilicity. Impregnation with castor oil, a biodegradable and safe plasticiser, resulted in less rigid and more ductile composites.

Zingiber Cassumunar

Recently, Thai herbs are widely used as medicine to treat some illnesses. Zingiber cassumunar Roxb., known by the Thai name “Plai”, is a popular anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic herbal body and muscle treatment. This research aimed to prepare herbal patches that incorporated the 3 g of crude Z. cassumunar oil. The herbal patches made from different polymer blends were 2 g of 3.5%w/v chitosan and 5 g of 20%w/v hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), or 2 g of 3.5%w/v chitosan and 5 g of 20%w/v polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) using 2 g of glycerin as a plasticizer. They were prepared by mixing all ingredients in a beaker and produced by solvent casting method in hot air oven at 70±2oC. The completed herbal patches were evaluated for their mechanical properties including Young’s modulus, ultimate tensile strength, elongation at break, T-peel strength, and tack adhesion. The thickness of blank and herbal patches was 0.263-0.282 mm and 0.269-0.275 mm, respectively. Young’s modulus, ultimate tensile strength, elongation at break, T-peel strength, and tack adhesion were 104.73-142.71 MPa, 87.92-93.28 MPa, 154.39-174.98 %, 3.43-4.88 MPa, and 5.29-7.02 MPa, respectively, for blank patches, and 116.83-147.28 MPa, 89.49-100.47 MPa, 133.78-159.27 %, 2.01-3.98 MPa, and 4.03-5.19 MPa, respectively, for herbal patches. We prepared herbal blended patches made from chitosan/PVA or chitosan/HPMC polymer matrix blends incorporating the crude Z. cassumunar oil. They had good mechanical properties that might be developed for herbal medicinal application.

Nanocellulose fibres can be hand-spun from different intermediate states, such as nanocellulose paper and filter cake, which are made from the BC suspension as well as wet pellicle (WP) and dry pellicle (DP) from BC pellicles. In this study, it can be concluded that increasing the hanging weight can increase the Young’s modulus and the tensile strength of fibres. Nanofibres produced from BC pellicles as raw material have better performance than those made from BC suspension. The best properties obtained from the fibres produced from wet pellicles and suspended to a 100g hanging weight upon drying are Young’s modulus (33.8 GPa), tensile strength (610 MPa) and elongation at break (3.6%).

Cure Characteristic

In this work, the sponge rubbers based on cassava starch masterbatch in latex phase with the difference technique (non-gelatinized and gelatinized cassava starch) were preformed. The cassava starch contents from 0 to 70 phr were also studied. The cure characteristic, mechanical and morphological properties were investigated. It was found that the scorch time and cure time were increased with an increasing of cassava starch contents in both techniques. The mechanical properties i.e., tensile strength, elongation at break and tear strength were decreased with an increasing of cassava starch contents, except 500% modulus. However, the sponge based on gelatinized technique gave the better mechanical properties than that of non-gelatinized cassava starch. The SEM micrographs of sponge NR from gelatinized technique were also able to confirm a good interfacial interaction between hydrophilic cassava starch and hydrophobic NR.

Appropriate concentration of base material and plasticizer is required to obtain good physical and mechanical properties of edible film for food packaging and preservation functions. The aim of this study was to obtain the best combination of the base material and plasticizer in the manufacture of agar films based on physical and mechanical properties. Results showed that the physical and mechanical properties of the agar edible film were affected by the agar and glycerol concentrations. Increasing agar concentrations resulted in the increase in the film thickness, tensile strength (TS), and elongation at break (EAB), but decreased the filmsolubility. While increasing glycerol concentration tended to increase the film thickness and solubility, but decrease the TS of the film. The best concentration combination of agar and glycerol in this study was 3 and 10%, respectively.

The effect of compatibilizer agent was studied when adding Aluminum fine powder (Al) to reinforce in Polypropylene (PP) by compared between polymer matrix composites (PMCs) and PMCs added Polypropylene graft maleic anhydride (PP-g-MAH).The average particle size of the aluminum fine powder was around 75 μm filled in polypropylene with different proportions of 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10wt%. PMCs were prepared using the internal mixer. The results found that when the amount of aluminum fine powder increased, the mechanical properties had changed, i.e., tensile strength, and Young’s Modulus increased, while the impact strength and elongation at break decreased. But, when adding compatibilizer 1wt% it was found that the trend of tensile strength, and Young’s Modulus increased that compared with non-compatibilizer, but the impact strength and elongation at break decreased. The part of the morphology of PMCs with non-compatibilizer was found that the particle of aluminum fine powder dispersed in the matrix phase, but there were many microvoids between filler and matrix. But, PMCs with compatibilizer caused the microvoids between filler and matrix to be reduced.

The objective of this study was to apply rice bran protein hydrolysates (RBH) as bioactive additives of gelatin/Eudragit® NE 30D film and characterize the physicochemical and mechanical properties of its. The RBH was obtained by extraction with 2% sodium chloride (RBH-NaCl) and 0.1 N sodium hydroxide (RBH-NaOH) followed by digestion with Alcalase®. Then, RBH was incorporated in gelatin/Eudragit® NE 30D film. Effect of RBHs on film thickness, moisture content, pH, Young's modulus, tensile strength and the elongation at break were investigated. The RBH-NaCl enriched film showed non-homogeneous mixture and reduced moisture content, tensile strength and the elongation at break (1.8 – 2 folds). However, the RBH-NaOH enriched film exhibited a few non-homogeneous mixture and the Young's modulus was slightly decreased. The pH value was increased in the range of 6.77 – 6.88. Our results provide insight for the potential to develop RBH containing films as topical products.

The interest in the development of edible and biodegradable films has increased because it is every day more evident that non degradable are doing much damage to the environment. In this research, edible films were based on blends of janeng starch in different proportions, added of palm oil or glycerol, which were used as plasticizers. The objective was to study the effect of two different plasticizers, palm oil and glycerol of edible film from janeng starch–chitosan on the mechanical properties and FTIR spectra. Increasing concentration of glycerol as plasticizer resulted tend to increased tensile strength and elongation at break. The tensile strength and elongation at break values for palm oil is higher than glycerol as plasticizer at the same concentration. FTIR spectra show the process of making edible film from janeng starch–chitosan with palm oil or glycerol as plasticizers are physically mixing in the presence of hydrogen interactions between chains.
