Development And AI Based Prediction Of Various Properties of Starch Based Edible Film

Abstract The environmental burden of synthetic plastic waste has increased, which has
intensified the search of biodegradable and sustainable alternatives. The paper is devoted to the work on the edible bioplastic films production based on the agro-waste materials, mainly the banana peel extract strengthened with cornstarch. In three sample formulations, the glycerol, vinegar, distilled water and citric acid were kept constant and a certain variation introduced in banana peel and cornstarch. This is not aimed at competing with high-performance petroleum-based plastics, such as polyethylene, but is expected to drive the usage of environmentally-friendly and biodegradable materials in the localized and low-impact usage, i.e., in food packaging. The films were described
based on mechanical and physicochemical characteristics such as tensile strength, thickness, solubility, and water vapor permeability in addition to biodegradability of the films in terms of soil burial and FTIR Spectroscopy. Findings have shown that a balance ratio of banana peel extract to cornstarch yielded the most functional film. The study contributes to the heroic of agro-waste to become useful bioplastics, as well as the necessity of sustainable material development as a part of the principles of the circular economy.
