Abstract

The demand for healthy and safe foods with the minimum use of synthetic materials is increasing very rapidly. Plastic polymers have negative effects on the environment, and great efforts have been made to evaluate the use of various bio-based polymers as alternatives to synthetic plastic packaging. Chitin and chitosan are mostly extracted from crustacean shells or byproducts from processing and handling fish and seafood. As a result, chitosan as a material for food packaging has received much attention and is widely researched because it has unique biological and functional properties. Chitosan for food packaging and food preservation applications can be applied via the method of spraying, immersing, coating, or wrapping films. However, chitosan has several disadvantages including low mechanical properties and high sensitivity to moisture, which are the main limitations for its industrial applications, including food packaging. In this study, the scientific literature of the last 5 years on chitosan-based films for their potential application in the food packaging industry has been extensively reviewed. This review also discussed various strategies that have been implemented to improve the properties of chitosan film, including using plasticizers and cross-linking agents, filling them with nanoparticles, fibers and whiskers and combining them with natural extracts and essential oils as well as with other natural and synthetic ingredients.

Abstract

Ketapang leaves (Terminalia catappa) is a plant which has many pharmacological activities one of them is antioxidat activity.  Phenolic compound is one that represented the antioxidant activity. The concentration of phenolic compounds was influenced by the method and condition of extraction. This study was conducted to determine the effect of ultrasonic extraction method, extraction time and the ratio of ethanol : water to total phenolic content in Ketapang leaves (Terminalia catappa). Extraction is completed by ultrasonic extraction method using 96% ethanol-water as solvent with solvent ratio variation (50:50, 60:40, 70:30) in time (5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes and 40 minutes). Measurment data from total phenolic content of the extracts Ketapang leaves (Terminalia catappa) shows that the extraction with 20 minutes with 96% ethanol-water 50:50 generate the highest total phenolic content, equal to 4862,352941mg GAE / g.
