The manufacture of the bioplastic was done through the mixing process using an aquades solvent with a ratio massa 10 gram and 7 gram cornstarch, 150 mL aquades, 2 Ml glycerol and 0,5 gram ZnO. This study aim to find out physical characteristies (water vapour transmission rate, water content, thickness,biodegradation) and mechanical charateristics (tensile strength, elongasi, modulus young) are made of cornstrach (Zea mays) using ZnO metal. From the test results tensile strength was 2.744-4.018 Mpa, percentage of elongation was 28.4632.383%, modulus young’s was 8.9031026535-14.08617709Mpa, thickness was 0.16-0.29mm, water vapor transmission rate was 0.4329-1.52525g/m2.24 hours, water content was 13.5-14.5%, and biodegradation was 3.7798-7.0346% and 455-809 days.

Ammonia is one of the compounds released during the food spoilage process, so a device that can detect ammonia can be used as an indicator of food spoilage. This article reports on the preparation and characteristics of Starch/PVA composite films with Syzygium oleana as indicator films to detect ammonia vapor. The indicator was made by first preparing the starch / PVA composite films by casting method and then the films were dipped in Syzygium oleana extract. These films were characterized by using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Fourier Transformed Infra-Red Spectrophotometer and tested for mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation, and the water vapor transmission rate (WVT). The results showed that the addition of PVA reduced the absorbance value in the UV and visible area, the value of the water vapor transmission rate and the tensile strength but the elongation value of the film on the other hand rose. The indicator films can detect ammonia which was marked by its color change from red to blue. For further application, it can be used as a smart packaging label that can detect food freshness.

This work reports the preparation of a ceramic hybrid composite film with illite and polyethylene (illite-PE), and the evaluation of the freshness-maintaining properties such as oxygen transmission rate (OTR), water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), tensile strength, and in vitro cytotoxicity. The particle size of the illite material was controlled to within 10 μm. The illite-PE masterbatch and film were prepared using a twin-screw extruder and a blown film maker, respectively. The dispersity and contents of illite material in each masterbatch and composite film were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). In addition, the OTR and WVTR of the illite-PE composite film were 8315 mL/m2·day, and 13.271 g/m2·day, respectively. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the illite-PE composite film was evaluated using L929 cells, and showed a cell viability of more than 92%. Furthermore, the freshness-maintaining property was tested for a packaging application with bananas; it was found to be about 90%, as indicated by changes in the color of the banana peel, after 12 days.

The equilibrium relative humidity isotherm of a cherry beverage base and a strawberry gelatin dessert mix colored with anthocyanins from grape skins, cranberries and roselle was evaluated versus a Red No. 2 control. As well, the water vapor transmission rate of the packaging material was evaluated to evaluate probable shelf-life. Results indicated that physical parameters, such as hygroscopicity, must be considered in estimating effects of the use of natural colorants in foods as well as the color and chemical stability normally investigated.

This study focuses on the development and evaluation of a novel wound dressing material. l-arginine grafted poly(glycerol sebacate) materials (PGS-g-Arg) are developed by chemical conjugation of l-arginine on poly(glycerol sebacate) chains and the mechanical property, water vapor transmission rate, antimicrobial functions and biocompatibility are investigated. At various l-arginine grafting ratio, the mechanical properties are tunable. It was found that between 7–13% l-arginine grafting ratios, the tensile strengths of PGS-g-Arg were similar to that of natural skin. These materials are shown with a low water vapor transmission rate, 6.1 to 10.3 g/m2/h, which may form a barrier and assist in the closure of wounds. Inhibition in the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus was observed on PGS-g-Arg, and a series of experiments were conducted to confirm its biocompatibility. In summary, l -arginine grafted poly(glycerol sebacate) may offer a novel option for wound dressing.
