The Impact

Plastic packaging has dominated the waste and the number is increasing every year. Candy plastic packaging waste is most often considered trivial because of its small size so it is usually disposed of carelessly. Every year the candy packaging waste contributes 0.3 billion. Due to its nonbiodegradable, it causes environmental pollution. Edible filmpackaging is an alternative to reduce the impact of candy packaging waste pollution.The purpose of this study was to obtain the optimum formula of edible film between based maize starch, carrageenan and rice bran as a hard candy packaging with the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) Central Surface Composite Design using the Design Expert 10.0.7. The prediction data obtained is then verified and tested by t-test at a 5% reliance interval.The optimum formulation of RSM results is 3,4% of maize starch, 1,1% of carrageenan and 0,38% of rice bran with predicted response of water content of 14,51%, WVTR 61,06 g/m2/hour, viscosity of 258,8 cP, tensile strength of 107,9 kgf/cm2, elongation of 19,41%, and modulus of response young 586,28 kgf/cm2. The verification had a moisture content of 14,37%, WVTR 63,34 g/m2/hour, viscosity of 244,9 cP, tensile strength of 96,9 kgf/cm2, elongation of 20,96%, and young modulus of 462,49 kgf/cm2

<p>This study aimed to determine the effect of addition of Soursop leaf extract to  edible film and its effect on the storage time of red grapes. This research had three main steps, soursop leaf extraction, edible film making, and application on red grapes storage time. Soursop leaves extract variation used in this research are 0.5; 1; and 1.5% (w/w total) and the best result was used to coat the red grapes. The results showed that the optimum composition was obtained on the edible film with the addition of 0.5% (w/w total) soursop leaf extract. The composition increased film thickness from 0.03 to 0.08 mm, decreased film’s tensile strength from 11.89 to 8.42 MPa, decreased elongation from 12.71 to 11.03%, decreased the Young Modulus from 0.935 to 0.764 MPa, and decreased the vapor transmission rate from 7.45 to 6.55 g/m<sup>2</sup>.hour. The 50% shrinkage of weight and 50% texture damage are used as parameters to measure the Red grapes storage time. Based on weight shrinkage, red grapes storage time change from 24 days to 29 days by using an edible film coating without addition of extract, an extend to 32 days while using an edible film coating with addition of soursop leaf extract. Based on texture damage, red grapes storage time increased from 13 to 41 days if using an edible film coating without addition of extract, and increased to 40 days using an edible film coating with the addition of soursop leaf extract.</p>

Fruits are perisbable comestible that having short shelf life. The disadvantage of fruits since post harvest to received by consumers in quantity and quality is caused by microorganisms, insect,  and the conditions of distribution and storage. Carrageenan edible film packaging is one of proper alternative to increase endurance and shelf life of fruits. It also becoe a solutio for undegradable plastic packaging that causing environmental pollution. Characterization which is common being conducted to edible film are mechanic properties (tensile strength and elongation break), thickness, solubility, water and vapor permeability rate. Several studies show that fruits with carragenan edible film and coating increase the perishable significanly comparing to uncoated fruits (control), so that it could lengthen the shelf life, reduce disappear of the odor,slow down colour change and gase transfer.

The Impact

This study investigated the combine effect of 0.2 % drink cans and steel fibers with volume fractions of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% and 3% to the mechanical properties and impact resistance of concrete. Hooked-end steel fiber with 30 mm and 0.75 mm length and diameter, respectively was selected for this study.  The drinks cans fiber were twisted manually in order to increase friction between fiber and concrete. The results of the experiment showed that the combination of steel fibers and drink cans fibers improved the strength performance of concrete, especially the compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength. The results of the experiment showed that the combination of steel fibers and drink cans fibers improved the compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength by 2.3, 7, and 2 times as compare to batch 1, respectively. Moreover, the impact resistance of fiber reinforced concrete has increase by 7 times as compared to non-fiber concretes. Moreover, the impact resistance of fiber reinforced concrete consistently gave better results as compared to non-fiber concretes. The fiber reinforced concrete turned more ductile as the dosage of fibers was increased and ductility started to decrease slightly after optimum fiber dosage was reached. It was found that concrete with combination of 2% steel and 0.2% drink cans fibers showed the highest compressive, split tensile, flexural as well as impact strength.

Pre Treatment

Durian (Durio zibethinus) and cempedak (Artocarpus integer) peels waste are not used by the society. The research aim is to extract pectin from durian and cempedak peels and to formulate the pectin into edible films for food packaging. The research stages were first pre-treatment of durian and cempedak peels, pectin extraction, pectin drying, and  pectin application as edible films with concentration of 0%, 5%, and 15%. Based on this research it was concluded that pectin can be extracted from durian and cempedak peels with yield result of 27.97 % and 55.58 %, respectively. Edible film obtained has  similar characteristics between raw materials cempedak and durian peels. The higher concentration of cempedak peel  pectin increased the thickness, but decreased the tensile strength and elongation at a concentration of 15%. While in edible films from durian peel pectin, the higher concentration of pectin decreased the thickness of edible film on pectin concentration of 15%, lowered tensile strength and raised the edible film elongation.Keywords: waste, durian, cempedak, pectin extraction, edible film

The Impact

Eco-friendly composites are proposed to substitute commonly available polymers. Currently, wood–plastic composites and natural fiber-reinforced composites are gaining growing recognition in the industry, being mostly on the thermoplastic matrix. However, little data are available about the possibility of producing biocomposites on a silicone matrix. This study focused on assessing selected organic fillers’ impact (ground coffee waste (GCW), walnut shell (WS), brewers’ spent grains (BSG), pistachio shell (PS), and chestnut (CH)) on the physicochemical and mechanical properties of silicone-based materials. Density, hardness, rebound resilience, and static tensile strength of the obtained composites were tested, as well as the effect of accelerated aging under artificial seawater conditions. The results revealed changes in the material’s properties (minimal density changes, hardness variation, overall decreasing resilience, and decreased tensile strength properties). The aging test revealed certain bioactivities of the obtained composites. The degree of material degradation was assessed on the basis of the strength characteristics and visual observation. The investigation carried out indicated the impact of the filler’s type, chemical composition, and grain size on the obtained materials’ properties and shed light on the possibility of acquiring ecological silicone-based materials.

The Impact

The awareness of the impact of high temperatures on rock properties is essential to the design of deep geotechnical applications. The purpose of this research is to assess the influence of heating and cooling treatments on the physical and mechanical properties of Egyptian granodiorite as a degrading factor. The samples were heated to various temperatures (200, 400, 600, and 800 °C) and then cooled at different rates, either slowly cooled in the oven and air or quickly cooled in water. The porosity, water absorption, P-wave velocity, tensile strength, failure mode, and associated microstructural alterations due to thermal effect have been studied. The study revealed that the granodiorite has a slight drop in tensile strength, up to 400 °C, for slow cooling routes and that most of the physical attributes are comparable to natural rock. Despite this, granodiorite thermal deterioration is substantially higher for quick cooling than for slow cooling. Between 400:600 °C is ‘the transitional stage’, where the physical and mechanical characteristics degraded exponentially for all cooling pathways. Independent of the cooling method, the granodiorite showed a ductile failure mode associated with reduced peak tensile strengths. Additionally, the microstructure altered from predominantly intergranular cracking to more trans-granular cracking at 600 °C. The integrity of the granodiorite structure was compromised at 800 °C, the physical parameters deteriorated, and the rock tensile strength was negligible. In this research, the temperatures of 400, 600, and 800 °C were remarked to be typical of three divergent phases of granodiorite mechanical and physical properties evolution. Furthermore, 400 °C could be considered as the threshold limit for Egyptian granodiorite physical and mechanical properties for typical thermal underground applications.

The present work investigated the possibility to use wet blue (WB) leather wastes as natural reinforcing fibers within different polymer matrices. After their preparation and characterization, WB fibers were melt-mixed at 10 wt.% with poly(lactic acid) (PLA), polyamide 12 (PA12), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), and the obtained samples were subjected to rheological, thermal, thermo-mechanical, and viscoelastic analyses. In parallel, morphological properties such as fiber distribution and dispersion, fiber–matrix adhesion, and fiber exfoliation phenomena were analyzed through a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) to evaluate the relationship between the compounding process, mechanical responses, and morphological parameters. The PLA-based composite exhibited the best results since the Young modulus (+18%), tensile strength (+1.5%), impact (+10%), and creep (+5%) resistance were simultaneously enhanced by the addition of WB fibers, which were well dispersed and distributed in and significantly branched and interlocked with the polymer matrix. PA12- and TPU-based formulations showed a positive behavior (around +47% of the Young modulus and +40% of creep resistance) even if the not-optimal fiber–matrix adhesion and/or the poor de-fibration of WB slightly lowered the tensile strength and elongation at break. Finally, the TPE-based sample exhibited the worst performance because of the poor affinity between hydrophilic WB fibers and the hydrophobic polymer matrix.
