Abstract
Preliminary Investigation of Bioplastics from Durian Seed Starch Recovery Using PEG 400 for Reducing Marine Debris
Highlights
Non-biodegradable plastics (NBP) released to marine environment potentially harmfulness to inhabitants and cause damage
In the research variations using 30% polyethylene glycol (PEG) addition (Figure 1b), bioplastics produced were in the form of small part, not intact, not rigid and have no elasticity but still could be removed from mold
Bioplastics manufacturing using 50% (Figure 1c) and 70% (Figure 1d) PEG addition could not be removed from mold, forming slurry as raw material before molding if picked up
Summary
Non-biodegradable plastics (NBP) released to marine environment potentially harmfulness to inhabitants and cause damage. Plastic is one of the valued materials with key role in economy, Indonesia generates around 6.8 million tonnes of plastic waste each year. The usage of PEG400 as plasticizer have been explored with raw material of bioplastic from cassava starch (Syamsu et al, 2007); carrageenan waste (Maulana et al, 2021); palm fruit (Sitompul & Zubaedah, 2017); jackfruit seed starch (Anas et al, 2016, Santana et al, 2017). This research was conducted to identify the potential application of seed durian starch resulting in a research database for designing and manufacturing biodegradable plastics through recovery of waste material
