Abstract

Purple sweet potato is one of the potential sources of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins can be utilized in various fields, such as sensors. Chitosan biopolymer allows formulation with anthocyanins because it possesses biodegradable and antimicrobial properties, and it does not inhibit color changes from anthocyanins. This study aims to prepare anthocyanins from purple sweet potatoes, formulate chitosan-anthocyanin biopolymer (CAB), and test the effect of time and formalin concentration on color changes in CAB. The research results show: 1) anthocyanin extract (TAC) from purple sweet potatoes is 852 mg/L with anthocyanin monomer (cyanidin) of 443.03 mg/500 g or 88.61 mg/100g. Anthocyanin extract at pH 1-12 has colors ranging from red to brownish-yellow; 2) CAB was successfully formulated with anthocyanin extract from purple sweet potatoes, chitosan, and glycerin. BKA-A was obtained with a content of 10 mL anthocyanin extract and CAB-B with 15 mL anthocyanin extract; 3) the produced biopolymers have average swelling values of 444% (CAB-A) and 339.5% (CAB-B). The storage time of CAB-B is longer than CAB-A. FTIR analysis showed a broad peak at ~3336 cm-1 indicating hydroxyl groups from anthocyanin extract; and 4) ANOVA test results showed that interaction time and formalin concentration affect color changes in CAB-A partially, while color changes in CAB-B are only influenced by interaction time with formalin.

Abstract

Based on data from the Indonesian Plastic Industry Association (INAPLAS) and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Indonesia is the largest contributor of plastic waste in the world. Efforts to overcome plastic waste can be done by making bioplastics. Bioplastics are plastics made from biopolymers which can be degraded and can be renewed. In this research, bioplastics were made using a method of mixing the ingredients and then poured into a baking dish. The materials used are sodium alginate and chitosan as the main components of bioplastics and the addition of plasticizers in the form of glycerol and glutaraldehyde as crosslinking. The variations of sodium alginate and chitosan polymers used are A(1:2); B(1:1); C(2:1) (w/w). The bioplastic characteristics tested include thickness, mechanical properties test, water absorption test, functional group test using FTIR, morphology test using SEM, and degradation test. The consecutive thickness test results are: bioplastic A of 0.140 mm, bioplastic B of 0.098 mm, and bioplastic C of 0.146 mm. The mechanical properties test results show the best tensile strength, elasticity and elongation at break values ​​of 1.72 MPa, 2.73 MPa and 63.66% for bioplastic C. Bioplastic A has the highest water resistance value with the lowest water absorption capacity of 37. 6%. The results of FTIR analysis of bioplastics show the presence of O-H, N-H, and C-O-O groups. Morphological test results on the composite surface show that the cross-link network forms an acetal bridge structure. Bioplastic B experienced the highest degradation with a weight reduction of 91.34%. The concentration of sodium alginate and chitosan affects the physical properties (thickness, water resistance and degradation) as well as the mechanical properties (tensile strength and elongation at break). Sodium alginate and chitosan bioplastics have a higher weight reduction percentage than commercial bioplastics with a weight reduction percentage of 14.58%.
