Abstract

The accumulation of food packaging waste, specifically styrofoam, has become a significant environmental pollutant due to its 500-year degradation period and hazardous chemical content. To address this issue, biodegradable foam (biofoam) made from natural polymers such as starch and cellulose offers a sustainable, economical alternative to conventional styrofoam. This research aims to synthesise and characterise biodegradable foam (biofoam) from cassava pulp and cellulose from sugarcane bagasse as an eco-friendly alternative to styrofoam. Biofoam was synthesised using cassava pulp, cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and glycerol, with varying starch-to-cellulose ratios (1:0.2 to 1:1) and mixing times (5 to 30 minutes), followed by thermopressing at 150°C. Characterization included tensile strength, water absorption, biodegradability, FTIR, and SEM testing. Results showed that the 1:1 ratio with 30-minute mixing give the best properties: 10.4575% water absorption, 41% biodegradability in 30 days, and 5.4916 MPa tensile strength. Water absorption and biodegradability met SNI 7188.7:2016 and ASTM D5988 standards. Although the tensile strength (5.4916 MPa) exceeded commercial styrofoam, it did not meet the 29.1600 MPa SNI requirement. FTIR confirmed the presence of hydroxyl, aliphatic, and carbonyl groups. SEM revealed clumping and cavities on the surface due to incomplete homogenization and starch gelatinization.

Abstract

Germination in red rice aims to improve its quality, particularly its texture. However, this germination process produces relatively long sprouts that can interfere with the quality of red rice when consumed. Therefore, calcium chloride is utilized with different application patterns to suppress sprout elongation while simultaneously enhancing calcium accumulation. Red rice (Inpari 24 variety) was germinated using a partially circulated germinator with variations in calcium chloride treatment patterns and germination duration. The physicochemical characteristics of ungerminated and germinated red rice exhibited differences, specifically in germination quality, calcium, color, pasting profile, and total sugar content. Germination without calcium chloride treatment and germination with full calcium chloride treatment at the initial stage significantly affected the germination rate, sprout length, calcium, and pasting profile of the red rice. Germination under each distinct calcium chloride application pattern successfully suppressed red rice sprout elongation. The results indicated that full calcium chloride treatment at the initial stage produced the lowest germination rate and sprout length (74.67–88.00% and 0.66–1.24 mm, respectively). Germination with calcium chloride treatment at the intermediate-stage and in a gradual manner reduced the sprout length of the red rice. The treatment with calcium chloride also increased calcium levels, an essential mineral for humans. Full treatment of calcium chloride at the initial stage yielded germinated red rice with the highest calcium (228.06–252.20 mg/100g). The different calcium chloride treatment patterns did not significantly affect the color, pasting profile, and total sugar of the germinated red rice; however, an increase was observed from the ungerminated red rice to the germinated red rice.

Abstract

This study evaluates the technical and economic characteristics of cement boards made from sawdust and coconut husk fiber waste using MgCl? as a catalyst. The cement boards were produced using the cold-pressing method with dimensions of 35 cm × 35 cm × 1 cm. The composition of the cement board consists of 25% sawdust, 15% coconut husk fiber, and 60% cement, along with a MgCl? catalyst amounting to 2.5% of the cement weight. Technical testing adheres to SNI 03-2105-2006, and the economic analysis employs the full costing method to calculate the cost of goods sold and the break-even point. Test results indicate that the physical parameters of the cement board—namely density, moisture content, and total expansion—meet the reference limits specified in SNI 03-2105-2006. Mechanically, the modulus of elasticity meets the reference limits in SNI 03-2105-2006, while the modulus of rupture falls below the minimum reference limit. The economic analysis in this study indicates a production cost of Rp10,749.41 per unit and an estimated selling price of Rp14,000.00, with the break-even point reached at sales of 74 units per year. Cement boards made from sawdust and coconut fiber waste have dimensional stability and stiffness that meet standards, but improvements in mechanical strength and interparticle bonding still require optimization in the production process.
