Effect of Cinnamon Extraction Oil (CEO) for Algae Biofilm Shelf-Life Prolongation

Abstract: This study was conducted to improve the life-span of the biofilm produced from algae by evaluating the decomposition rate with the effect of cinnamon extraction oil (CEO). The biofilm was fabricated using the solution casting technique. The soil burying analysis demonstrated low moisture absorption of the biofilm, thus decelerating the degradation due to low swelling rate and micro-organism activity, prolonging the shelf-life of the biofilm. Hence, the addition of CEO also affects the strength properties of th… Show more

“…The first-generation feedstocks are generally rich in carbohydrate and are normally consumed by humans and animals. Continuous processing of the feedstock into bioplastic creates undesirable competition with food and animal feed supply [3,39,40]. Therefore, the second-generation bioplastic was developed to resolve this dilemma.…”

“…The most popular feedstocks used in third-generation bioplastic fabrication are algae and seaweed. The feedstocks can be cultivated naturally and they grow into enormous amounts in a short time span [40]. They do not directly compete with food resources and have a high growth rate and high growth tolerance in harsh conditions.…”

“…The rate of degradation for all the films is shown in Figure 7c. Once the film structure disintegrates, the EO bound to the films will get released to the soil [52] inhibiting soil microbiota and affecting the rate of degradation by the microbes. The film with oils will have a slower degradation rate than the control film.…”

“…The addition of cinnamon active chemicals to packaging systems significantly reduces the growth rate of microorganisms [28], thus increasing the life-span. For such purpose, cinnamon oil was added to algae films, and the resulting compounds were characterized by soil bury tests, tensile tests, FTIR and SEM [29]. The best mechanical performance and longest shelf-life rate of the films was attained upon addition of 5 wt.% cinnamon.…”
