The addition of nanochitosan suspension as filler in carrageenan-tapioca biocomposite film

Potential Edible Film Biocomposite (Gelatin, Nanochitosan, and Beeswax) for Extend Shelf Life Pangasius Fillets Based on Organoleptic Characteristics, Rottenness, and pH: A Review

“…Edible coating/film is a coating made from materials containing natural antimicrobials that can maintain the quality and shelf life of products Malhotra et al [3] in Ningtyas and Ramadhanti [4]. Component edible film consists of hydrocolloids, lipids, and composites (a mix of hydrocolloids and lipids) Rochima et al [5]. Chitosan is a chitin-derived polysaccharide which one of the edible components Mustapa et al [6].…”

“…Chitosan can be resized into nanoparticles which have the potential to be used as fillers so that they will improve functional properties in antibacterial activity. The use of nanochitosan has been widely used as a material for making biodegradable films that are resistant to microbe Rochima et al [5].…”

Reinforcement of Carrageenan/Starch Based Bio-Composite by Beads-Milled Chitosan

“…Therefore, alternatives biodegradable composite material from renewable resources is very crucial such as an engineering of biocomposite with acceptable characteristics and properties satisfied the requirement of various application of plastics, such as food packaging [1,4]. The suitable bioplastic properties need to be improved includes their mechanical and water absorption properties [4][5][6][7].…”

“…Carrageenan and corn starch are renewable bioresources as an alternative film [5][6]. However, this material has yet suitable for the application and need to improve their mechanical and water absorption properties [6].…”

“…Usually, proper filler added to enhance their properties. Chitosan is natural filler which is potential candidate applicable to improve the properties of carrageenan/starch bio-composite film [5]. It is also important for massive application that chitosan, carrageenan and corn scratch are abundant in nature.…”
