Preparation and Characterization of Biodegradable Plastic from Corn Starch
Bo Bo Thet
Starch is used in the production of biodegradable packaging materials as an attractive
alternative to synthetic polymers because it is a natural biopolymer and renewable source. In
this research, biodegradable plastic was made from corn starch to reduce the soil pollution
problem. For the production of starch-based plastic, glycerol was added for the gelatinization
of starch during thermal processing. Biodegradable plastic was made by varying the amount of
ingredients such as water (6ml, 7ml, 8ml, 9ml) and glycerine (0.25g, 0.5g, 0.75g, 1g). The
characteristics of prepared biodegradable plastic were evaluated by biodegradability test, water
absorption test, moisture absorption test and solubility test. Corn starch 1.5g, vinegar 1ml,
glycerine 0.5g and distilled water 7ml were the most suitable conditions for the preparation of
biodegradable plastic.
