Abstract

Researchers have developed biodegradable bioplastics from renewably sourced natural materials in response to the environmental consequences of synthetic plastics. This study looks at how different amounts of glycerol and chitosan affect the properties of bioplastics made from avocado seed starch. This study evaluated the mechanical, hydrophilic, and degradation properties in terms of tensile strength, elongation at break, thickness, water absorption, and structural stability over time. The results showed that an increase in glycerol content improved flexibility and elongation but impaired tensile strength and water resistance. On the other hand, the increase of chitosan concentration contributes to a significant enhancement of tensile strength, water resistance, and stability. The mixture A3 (1 ml glycerol, 4.5 g chitosan) was thought to have good mechanical stiffness (16.560 ± 3.661 MPa) and water resistance. On the other hand, B1 (2 ml and 2.5 g) had better elasticity (elongation: 32.299 ± 8.910%). Upon performing degradation analysis, B-series samples exhibited a high hydrophilicity, which caused faster breakdown as opposed to A-series samples. Avocado seed starch plasticized by a combination of chitosan and glycerol shows promise as an environmentally friendly plastic, and this study shows a way toward fine-tuning both mechanical and hydrophilic properties to produce biodegradable bioplastics

Abstract

A sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics, bioplastics produced from avocado seed starch can help alleviate some of the environmental challenges presented by plastic waste. However, these products still need to improve their mechanical properties and water resistance for industrial use. The purpose of this study is to find out how changes in the amounts of chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) affect the mechanical strength, water resistance, and biodegradability of bioplastics made from avocado seed starch. The solution-casting method prepared starch-based bioplastics using chitosan (2.5–4.5 g), PVA (2.5–5%) as filler, and glycerol as a plasticizer. This study found that adding more chitosan increased the tensile strength, reaching a maximum value of 30.696±0.106 N/mm2 in the SNI 7188.7:2016, which was higher than the tensile strength value of the N3 sample. The samples N1 and M1 demonstrated the highest elongation at break of 35.700±4.776% and the lowest water uptake of 5.167%, indicating a 94.833% water resistance. The plastics underwent complete biodegradation under soil conditions after 60 days. This led to valuable results, confirming that avocado seed starch-based bioplastics, as engineering materials for food packaging, have enormous potential for application in the industry. This research needs to increase the water resistance or scale it up for industrial production
