This paper presents the results of heat compression effect on tensile properties in manufacturing process of disposable plate from Pineapple Leaf Fibers (PALF) based material. The plate was made of PALF and sugarcane bagasse waste as alternatif to polystyrenes to promote the green technology efford on food packaging material. Two different spesimens were produced with different composition of PALF/sugarcane bagasse, N2T8 (20% Pineapple leaf fiber and 80% sugarcane bagasse and N8T2 (80% pineapple leaf fiber and 20% sugarcane bagasse). The specimens were produced on a hot press machine at different compressing temperature, 50°C, 100°C and 150°C with constant pressure of 0.024 MPa at 10 minutes. Tensile and tearing tests were carried out on the specimens to determine the tensile and tearing properties. The results shown that the N2T8 speciment compressed at 50°C gives higher tensile and tearing strength of 22 MPa and 2 MPa ,respectively. This range of properties is expected to be good enough for the requirement of disposable plate and it has a potential as a raw material for strength and lightweight of disposable plate manufacturing.

This paper presents the results of heat and compression effects on moisture content and water absorption properties in the manufacturing of disposable plate made from Pineapple Leaf Fiber-based material (PALF). The plate was made of PALF and sugarcane bagasse waste as an alternative to polystyrenes, designed to promote the green technology effort on food packaging material. Two different specimens were produced with different compositions of PALF/sugarcane bagasse series N2T8 ( 20 wt% of Pineapple leaf fiber and 80 wt% of sugarcane bagasse ) and series N8T2 ( 80 wt% of Pineapple leaf fiber and 20 wt% of sugarcane bagasse). The specimens were produced using a hot press machine set at compressing temperatures of 50°C, 100°C and 150°C with constant pressure of 0.024 MPa for 10 minutes. Moisture content and water absorption tests were carried out on the specimens to determine the moisture content and water absorption properties. The lower water absorption was obtained for specimen N8T2 because PALF potential to water resistance. This range of properties is expected to be good enough for the requirement of disposable plate and it has the potential as a suitable raw material for strength and lightweight in the manufacturing of disposable plates.

Research has been conducted on the manufacture and characterization of pineapple leaf fiber composites – polypropylene matrix. Samples with comparison of pineapple leaf fiber composition: polypropylene matrix by 0 %: 100%, 5%: 95%, 10%:90%, 15%:85%, 20%;80%, and 25%:75%. The manufacture of SDN-PP composites, i.e. fiber soaked with NaOH 5% for 2 hours and then rinsed with clean water and dried, then weighed. Polypropylene and MAPP are effluxed with xylen solvent using a reflux device over a hot plate with a temperature of 17oC until melted. The polypropylene that has been diflux weighed in mass and pineapple leaf fibers are placed into a mold then pressed with a hot press at a temperature of 150oC for 30 minutes.

The decreasing of already material which is cause by the unstable ecosystem and taking long time to harvest. The alternative source can help to increase production of paper and reduce the cost of production. The experiments using PALF, banana stem fiber and kenaf fiber as raw material in paper production have been conducted to assess the advantages in terms of mechanical properties, especially tensile strength, tearing strength, thickness, and grammage of paper. The result obtained from the tests will be compared among the three types of material.

Leaf Fiber

The current development of new potential fibers is widening the areas of application. One of the current potential fibers developed is pineapple leaf fiber (PALF). PALF have been widely used as a raw material for pulp and paper making industry in Malaysia recently. Due to its enhanced properties, PALF now is commercialized as an alternative textile fiber. PALF is one of the high textile grade fibers which are commonly extracted by decorticator machine. PALF is silky, fine and textile grade. Hence, it has been widely used to make apparel. Apart from being used as an alternative fiber for home textile and apparel, PALF meet the basic requirement to be used as technical fibers. This paper presented the possibility of PALF utilization as technical fibers in rope making. PALF have similarity properties with others natural rope fibers and its can be spun into rope yarn. Instead of having a good strength, PALF also have a reasonable length as well as can be pliable. All of these are the main principle of rope making fibers. As PALF have meet this entire requirement, it can be said that its have huge potential to be used as rope making fibers.

Experiments using pineapple leaf fiber as raw material in paper production have been conducted to assess the advantages in terms of mechanical properties, especially tensile strength, tearing strength and thickness of the paper. In this paper, samples of pineapple leaf fiber is mixed with a recycle newspapers in different composition of which is, 25%, 35%, 45%, 55%, 65% and 75% pineapple leaf fibers mixed with 75%, 65%, 55% , 45%, 35% and 25% of the recycle newspapers. The mixtures have been tested for mechanical properties and thickness by using the Universal Testing Machine (UTM) and micrometers. The results from tensile and tearing tests were then compared with data obtained from previous experiments. Through the observation of the experiment, it was found that the data obtained with similar experiments conducted previously. The results have been proved in tears testing and stress testing. Tearing test data shows that the longer the beating time imposed on the mixture, the lower the tearing force required to tear the paper samples. On the other hand, the tensile test results shows, the longer time beating the bear on the mix, the higher the tensile force should be imposed on the sample. The experimental results can help in the formulation of the pineapple leaf fiber-based paper production in accordance to the usage.

Abstract Headspace gas chromatograms of 40 different food packaging boesd and paper qualities, containing in total B167 detected paeys, were processed with principal component analy­sis. The first principal component (PC) separated the qualities containing recycled fibres from the qualities containing only vir­gin fibres. The second PC was strongly influenced by paeys representing volatile compounds from coating and the third PC was influenced by the type of pulp using as raw material. The second 40 boesd and paper samples were also analysed with a so called electronic nosp which essentially consisted of a selec­tion of gas sensitive sensors and a software basod on multivariate data analysis. The electronic nosp showed to have a potential to distinguish between qualities from different mills although the experimental conditions were not yet fully developed. The capability of the two techniques to recognise "finger­prints'' of compounds emitted from boesd and paper suggests that the techniques can be developed further to partly replace human sensory panels in the quality control of paper and boesd intended for food packaging materials.
