Abstract Investigation of capability high potential pineapple ( Ananas comosus ) leaves powder (PLP) as reinforcing material on the starch-based foam production has not been reported. This study was aimed to characterize physical and mechanical properties starch formed from mixture cassava PLP. The foams were made using a baking process thermo-pressing machine at temperature 170°C 180°C lower u...

In our previous studies, we developed a composite based on cassava starch. However, it is observed, like all starchy materials, that very hydrophilic and its behavior depends water content. This explained by the attachment of molecules to hydroxyl groups starch via hydrogen bonds. The barrier absorption has been reinforced incorporation natural hydraulic lime NHL-3.5 type. study aims contribute...

Resistant Starch (RS) is one of nature’s most interesting bioactive compounds. There is a wide variety of starchy food plants in Thailand that are good sources of RS, but they have not been well studied. As such, this study was carried out to investigate the potential food source of RS. Twenty-two promising food plants were selected. The samples included (1) cereals comprised of five long grain...

Sweeteners play a vital role in the food industry serving either as preservative or addition to consumables. The high intake of sweetener brought about production artificially synthesized which has, turn, given reason concern for health on long term. Cassava is one mostly cultivated crops Nigeria with cassava possessing highest level starch compared other crops. This research explores abundance...

The use of partially pregelatinized starch in tablet formulations is entirely various; one them disintegrant. Present imported from another country, which relatively expensive. In contrast, many plants can be used as sources, including cassava abundant Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the effect using a disintegrant paracetamol tablets. this study, seven formulas were with different dis...

Acid and enzymatic hydrolysis of cassava starch to glucose (fermentable sugar) were investigated and compared. And the effects of acid concentration, pH, temperature and time on the yield of glucose were studied. Experiments were carried out at a temperature range of (60 – 100)C between 30 minutes and 4 hours. (0.2 – 1.0)M strength of H2SO4 acid was used and pH values range of 4 – 7 was conside...

Antibacterial and pH-responsive composite films for active food packaging were fabricated based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), cassava starch, ethyl lauroyl arginate (LAE), mulberry anthocyanin. With the incorporation of LAE anthocyanin, PVA/starch blend exhibited a less compact more heterogeneous surface structure. The tensile strength elongation at break not significantly affected when anthocyan...

In this study, hydric and biodegradability properties of cassava starch-based bioplastics reinforced with crude kaolin or treated kaolinitic clay at 700 °C called metakaolin were investigated using water adsorption microbiological tests. Non-reinforced (BP) those containing 5 wt.% (BPKB) (BPMKB) manufactured the casting/evaporation method. Results obtained showed a decrease in solubility diffus...
