Overview

This research demonstrates improved tensile strength and biodegradation in bioplastics made of chitosan and sago starch, suggesting potential for eco-friendly packaging.

Key Points

  • The best bioplastic formulation achieved a tensile strength of 4.71 MPa with a biodegradation time of 6 days.
  • Increasing the chitosan/sago starch weight ratio resulted in higher tensile strength and longer biodegradation times.
  • The addition of black fruit leaves ethanolic extract influenced both tensile strength and elongation at various ratios.
  • Characterization of the bioplastic was performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
