“…This type of bioplastic is usually from rice, wheat, corn, potatoes and anything with starch sources. The development of starch based bioplastic was influenced by the factor which is to produce a better product quality, abundant, cheap and renewable resources [17]. Starch based bioplastic advantages include a healthy cancer free product, pollution complimentary, less energy consumption, light weighted and so forth [18].…”

Current conventional plastic is favored due to its affordable price and desirable properties however the major drawback is its non biodegradable properties which lead to environmental pollution. Taking into consideration the issues of non renewable resources, there is where bioplastic were introduce. According to European bioplastic, bioplastic is defined as material produced from biobased, biodegradable or both properties. Bioplastic is coming from renewable resources which can be used to reduce the plastic waste problem. Recently, the existence of bioplastic became one of the promising technologies in various industries especially in packaging industry. This review paper is highlight include the bioplastic packaging application (food and beverages, healthcare, cosmetic and personal care and consumer packaged goods) in industry for 4 types of bioplastic (PLA, PCL, Starch based and PHAs).

“…According to (Shristi, 2016), starch has also been used as a source for sustainable and eco-friendly raw material. The development of starch-based bioplastic was influenced by the factor which is to produce better product quality, abundant, cheap and a renewable resource (Ali et al, 2016). Starchbased bioplastic also contain additives such as plasticizers and compatibilizers to improve processability, water resistance and tear strength (Andrej, 2012), (Martien et al, 2017).…”

“…Irradiation is the deliberate process of exposing an item to certain types of radiation energy to bring about desirable changes (Nelida, 2016). In recent year, research has been a focus on using irradiation treatment to improve starch based bioplastic properties such as the mechanical and barrier properties that is because irradiation treatment is expected to improve and enhance the starch based bioplastic properties whether as physically or chemically (Ali et al, 2016). Some of the irradiation treatment that has been extensively studied is Ultraviolet irradiation (UV), gamma irradiation and electron beam (Asyraf et al, 2017).…”

Currently, there was an intensive study to used starch as raw material to produce bioplastic for a wide range of applications. However, starch-based has limited the range of applications due to their unfavorable properties such as brittleness, increase the viscosity, retrogradation and insolubility in cold water. There ionizing radiation was introduced. With the proper amount of energy and source, ionizing radiation will improve the starch-based bioplastic properties which is having mechanical and barrier properties. In this paper, the ionizing radiation source that compared with is ultraviolet (UV), electron beam, and gamma ray. Each of the rays gives a different result and gamma ray give the most promising result, however above 40kGy it will compromise the structure and properties of the starch based bioplastic. For conclude, ionizing radiation will improve the starch based bioplastic properties and will not compromise their properties within the appropriate range of energy.

“…This increases microbial attack, which produces defects in mechanical behavior. Therefore biodegradation occurs when microorganisms consume microcrystalline cellulose, leading to increased porosity and voidness and decreased structural integrity of the matrix [12,13,14]. The percent weight loss increased with increase in cellulose content in LLDPE system.…”

Abstract:The objective of this study is to study the effects of the addition of TiO 2 and microcrystalline cellulose on properties of packaging films based on biodegradable polymer blends. Biocompositions of Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) -Microcrystalline Cellulose were prepared by Twin Screw Extrusion using of maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene as compatibilizer and TiO 2 as pro-oxidative additives. Polyethylene wax was used as processing aid to ease the blown film process. The presence of large amount of microcrystalline cellulose contents had a divergent effect on the tensile properties of Cellulose-PE blend. However, the addition of compatibilizer to the blends improved the interfacial bonding between the two materials. High amount of cellulose also was found to upsurge the rate of biodegradability of Cellulose-PE composite films. The burst strength and soil burry test of this composite film was also improved. It suggest that this film can be used for packaging film which can degraded up to certain extend.
