Effect of different concentrations of corn starch and whey protein on the characteristics of biodegradable cup

An attempt was made to prepare a composite biodegradable cup using corn starch, whey protein, carboxymethyl cellulose and glycerol. For biodegradable cup formation, corn starch (5-7%), WPC-35 (1.5-3%), CMC (0.5-2%) and glycerol (2-4%) range was selected. To decide upon temperature at which the cup forming solution attains final viscosity, samples were tested under rapid visco analyser to conclude that layering was enabled at 50oC. Based on observations three best biodegradable cups combinations were selected Sample A (corn starch 7%, WPC-35 3%, Cellulose 2%, glycerol 2.5%); Sample B (corn starch 7%, WPC-35 2%, Cellulose 2%, glycerol 2.5%); Sample C (corn starch 7%, WPC-35 3%, Cellulose 2%, glycerol 4.0%). Properties like thickness, solubility, water vapour transmission rate, viscosity, moisture, lightness were studied for three samples to select the final cup. Based on observation, Sample C's final composition was selected as corn starch 7%, WPC-35 3%, cellulose 2%, glycerol 4.0%. The value for thickness, solubility, WVTR, moisture and lightness was observed as 0.5±0.025mm, 48.50±0.66%, 1.14±0.086g/m2/hr, 7.74±0.16%, 41.96±1.86 respectively. The lower diameter of the cup was observed as 5.5cm, upper diameter 7.5cm and height of cup was observed as 4.0 cm with the capacity of the final cup as 55.5ml/47.1gm.

The aim of this research was to determine the characteristics of composite edible film based on corn starch with the addition of palm oil and Tween 20. This study used a Factorial Randomized Completely Design with two treatments and three replications for each treatment. The first factor was the concentration of palm oil (1%; 2%; 3%) v/v (1; 2: and 3 %v/v), the second factor was the concentration of Tween 20 (0.5%; 1.0%; 1.5%)v/v. The observed parameters includes water vapour transmission rate, water content, thickness, compressive strength, elongation percentage, dan solubility. The results showed that palm oil addition had significant effect on thickness, elongation percentage, water vapour transmission rate, water content, the addition of Tween 20 had significant effect on the elongation percentage and compressive strength. The interaction between palm oil and the Tween 20 addition had significant effect on thickness, elongation percentage, and solubility. The optimum treatment based on physical and chemical charateristics of composite edible film was palm oil concentration of 1% and Tween 20 of 1% with thickness 0.23mm, elongation percentage 21.67%, solubility 89.9%, water vapour transmission rate 16.80%, water content 19.28%, and compressive strength 5.53gf. ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik edible film komposit berbasis pati jagung yang dinkorporasikan dengan minyak sawit dan Tween 20. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah rancangan acak lengkap faktorial (RALF) dengan dua faktor perlakuan yang setiap perlakuannya diulang sebanyak tiga kali. Faktor pertama adalah konsentrasi minyak sawit (1%; 2%; 3%) v/v dan faktor kedua adalah konsentrasi Tween 20 (0,5%; 1,0%; 1,5%) v/v. Parameter penelitian meliputi: laju transmisi uap air, kadar air, ketebalan, kuat tekan, persen pemanjangan, dan kelarutan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan konsentrasi minyak sawit berpengaruh nyata terhadap ketebalan, persen pemanjangan, laju transmisi uap air, kadar air dan Tween 20 berpengaruh nyata terhadap persen pemanjangan dan kuat tekan. Interaksi kedua perlakuan penelitian ini berpengaruh nyata terhadap ketebalan, persen pemanjangan, dan kelarutan edible film komposit yang dihasilkan. Perlakuan terbaik berdasarkan sifat fisik dan kimia adalah edible film komposit adalah konsentrasi minyak sawit 1% (v/v) dan Tween 20 1%(v/v) dengan ketebalan 0,23mm, persen pemanjangan 21,67%, kelarutan 89,9%, laju transmisi uap air 16,80 %, kadar 19,28%, dan kuat tekan 5,53 gf.
