PEMBUATAN EDIBLE FILM DARI PATI SINGKONG SEBAGAI PENGEMAS MAKANAN
Abstract: Edible film are
plastics which can be degraded by microorgaisms and is made from renewable
materials. Plastics film is made from cassava starch. Plasticizer used is
sorbitol and glycerol. The purposes of this research is to determine the effect
of plasticizer variation and starch weight on the characteristics of cassava
starch plastic films. Cassava starch weight variation are 1,75 g, 2 g, 2,25 g
at sorbitol and 3 g, 3,5 g, 4 g at glycerol and glycerol variations are 1,5 ml,
1,75 ml, and 2 ml and sorbitol variations are 1,5 g, 1,75 g, and 2 g. The
reseach results showed that the interactions between starch and plasticizers
are significantly effect on tensile strength and elongation of the edible film
while the starch cassava weight is significantly effect on the thickness of the
edible film. Tensile strength of plastic film are decreased with increasing
glycerol volume sorbitol weight. While elongation of plastic film rised with
increasing glycerol volume and sorbitol weight. Thickness of plastic film is
increase with increasing starch weight.
