“…The production of bioplastics encompasses the use of renewable resources, including corn starch [18], potato starch [19], sugarcane [20], wheat [21], and soybeans [22], as well as speci c bioplastics like PLA derived from corn or sugarcane, and innovative sources such as algae [23], hemp [24], and wood pulp cellulose [25]. These resources not only contribute to mitigating environmental impacts, but also reduce dependence on nite fossil fuel reserves.…”

This study presents the synthesis of agrowaste banana peel extract-based magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (BPEx-MIONPs), emphasizing antioxidant capacity and food preservation. Using iron (III) chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3 · 6 H2O) as a precursor and a reducing agent from agrowaste peel extract, a precisely controlled process yielded BPEx-MIONPs. Characterization involved X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). XRD revealed tetragonal Fe2O3, cubic magnetite structure, and monoclinic FexOy-NPs with an average size of 14.8 nm. TEM and SEM showcased diverse morphologies—cubic, quasi-spherical, and elongated microdomains. FTIR confirmed Fe–O bonds (1000 − 400 cm-1). Antioxidant assessment showed robust DPPH free radical scavenging; BPEx achieved 100% inhibition at 18 min, and BPEx-MIONPs had an IC50 of ~ 136 µg/mL. BPEx-MIONPs, stabilized with banana-based bioplastic, effectively preserved grapes, reducing weight loss to 6.2% on day 3, compared to the control (19.0%). This pioneering study combines banana peel antioxidants with magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, providing sustainable solutions for food preservation and nano-packaging. Ongoing research aims to refine conditions and explore broader applications of BPEx-MIONPs.

“…Momotaz, Hasan and Sarkar (1st Fab. 2022), focused in this research to develop the manufacturing process of starch-based biodegradable plastic with optimal and mechanical properties [4]. Therefore bioplastic prepared from different sources have different properties and the same sources but with the different methodologies shows different features.…”

The development in the field of bioplastic has become the revolutionary step against the use of conventional plastic. Bioplastic has been prepared from plants, bacterial and algal sources and commonly bioplastic is made by starch sources i.e. potato, rice ,maize , jackfruit and corn. However, the existing property of bioplastic has not been completely replenished over the use of plastic. Both starch sources (potato and corn) were used to prepare bio-plastic under similar conditions. Similar ingredients are to be used so that variation in the properties can be easily identified. The potato starch-based bio-plastic specimen shows comparable better ease in molding and takes less time to thicken than the corn starch. The observation suggests that bioplastic preparation can be optimized as per the requirements such as time , molding expenses with temperature variation.

This study presents the synthesis of agro-waste banana peel extract-based magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (BPEx-MIONPs), emphasizing antioxidant capacity and food preservation. Using iron (III) chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3 · 6 H2O) as a precursor and a reducing agent from agro-waste peel extract, a precisely controlled process yielded BPEx-MIONPs. Characterization involved X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). XRD revealed tetragonal Fe2O3, cubic magnetite structure, and monoclinic FexOy-NPs with an average size of 14.8 nm. TEM and SEM revealed diverse morphologies. TEM displayed both spherical and elongated nanoparticles, with some appearing as thin fibrils. In contrast, SEM images depicted an array primarily consisting of spherical nanoparticles, resembling coral reef formations. FTIR confirmed Fe–O bonds (1000 –400 cm-1). The antioxidant assessment showed robust DPPH free radical scavenging; BPEx achieved 100% inhibition at 18 min, and BPEx-MIONPs had an IC50 of ~ 136 µg/mL. BPEx-MIONPs, stabilized with banana-based bioplastic, effectively preserved grapes, reducing weight loss to 6.2% on day 3, compared to the control (19.0%).
