“…This data contradicts the report by [3], where the maximum tensile properties were achieved at 20 wt.% of fibre content. The enhancement of tensile properties also was due to hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in the starch and kenaf fibre through the processing of the composites [10]. Hence, this improvement showed the good dispersion of the kenaf fibre in the composite and the efficiency of stress transfer from the matrix to the fibre [11].…”

This paper reports on the physical and mechanical properties of the thermoplastic sago starch/kenaf fibre (TPSS/KF) composite. The composite was prepared through a compression molding technique at varying fibre contents of 0, 10, 20 and 30 wt.%, whilst the effect of the fibres incorporation was evaluated by physical and mechanical tests, as well as morphological analysis. Reduction of moisture content and denser composite were achieved with a higher fibre content. Meanwhile, the water absorption of the composite was lower than the thermoplastic with an increase in the kenaf fibre loading. Tensile testing improved strength and modulus with the increase of fibres content until an optimum was reached at 30 wt.% of fiber loading. Morphological analysis showed good wetting between the polymer matrix and fibres that provided the tensile improvement.

“…Chitosan has been proven to be a good membrane material for pervaporative dehydration of organics [1,2]. Sago starch is another type of polysaccharide that is typically used for food and has found many potential application as biodegradable films to replace plastics [5][6][7]. Its low cost and renewability are the main reasons sago can be an attractive source for revolutionary bio-composite [8][9][10].…”

This study focuses on the utilization of natural polysaccharides as membrane material for the separation of liquid-liquid systems and the potential of membrane pervaporation process to recover drilling mud. Hydrophilic membranes derived from chitosan and sago starch were developed and modified for the pervaporation of ethanol-water, ethyl acetate-water and cesium/potassium formate-water. Membranes were modified through polymer blending, chemical cross-linking as well as heat treatment. Response surface methodology (RSM) was also used to study the optimum preparation conditions of sago starch membranes for the recovery of drilling mud. Increasing feed concentration increases flux and decrease separation factor for both chitosan and sago based membranes. Using RSM, the optimum preparation conditions of sago based membranes was found to be at 65 wt.% of sago, 1.5 wt.% of glutaraldehyde and heat treated at 110°C. Pervaporation was also demonstrated to be feasible for the recovery of cesium/potassium formate drilling mud.

“…Many researchers have produced biodegradable packaging material from natural starches obtained from agricultural and agroindustrial wastes. For example, cornstarch (Lenz, Tedesco, Camani, & dos Santos Rosa, 2018), cassava starch (Syafri, Kasim, Abral, & Asben, 2017), Sago starch (Zuraida, Nur Humairah, Nur Izwah, & Siti Naqiah, 2012), potato starch (Dawale & Bhagat, 2018), banana peel starch (Sultan & Johari, 2017), rice starch (Lopattananon, Thongpin, & Sombatsompop, 2012), and tapioca starch (Abral et al, 2018).…”

The preferment for farm mechanization and advancement in industrialization has augmented the agro-industrial waste generation. The management of such numerous waste is a challenging and resource-intensive task. The current practices involve releasing this waste into the water bodies and open landfills which causes water, air, and soil pollution. These wastes have the potential to be used as a raw material for the development of value-added products, generation of renewable energy, extraction of food-use compounds, and manufacturing of packaging material. In the current scenario, agro-based materials are captivating the packaging industries toward the development of renewable, biodegradable, and sustainable packaging materials.These agro-based materials have great capability to replace petrochemical-based plastic materials in packaging industries because of their ample availability and biodegradability. Biodegradable packaging materials can be derived from agro-industrial waste either directly or by chemical synthesis or by genetically modified organisms.Agro-based polymers have a scintillating future for a wide range of applications in the food industry and pharmaceuticals, including advances in active and smart packaging with bio-functional characteristics. The present review comprehensively discusses the potential of different agricultural and agro-industrial wastes that can be used for extracting different natural biopolymers and their further use in manufacturing biodegradable food packaging. Practical ApplicationsInformation about the potential agricultural and agro-industrial waste suggests development, optimization, customization, and scale-up of production of biodegradable packaging material to promote its commercial usage. The major patents granted in biodegradable packing, properties of these materials, and the current status of their commercial availability will provide a compiled source of information, start-ups, innovation, research, and future advancements to the industrialists, students, researchers, and entrepreneurs. As an alternative to plastics, biodegradable packaging materials open opportunities for sustainable and environment-friendly solutions to industries and help in fulfilling their corporate social responsibility.
