“…The variable in the research on making biodegradable bioplastic food packaging based on commercial Nano composite cellulose/starch with smoke liquid to prevent microbial substances is the variation in volume percent of liquid smoke (smoke liquid) mixed with nono-cellulose/commercial starch fiber composite in making biodegradable plastic to see the effectiveness in prevent the growth of microbial substances. Data collection used a non-factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) [18].…”

The high demand for plastic use today will result in environmental damage because the plastic that is widely used cannot be broken down. This plastic waste is dangerous for the sustainability of the food chain, pollutes water and soil, causes global warming, and causes air pollution. This research synthesizes a cellulose nanofiber composite with commercial starch in a 1:1 ratio with the influence of the addition of smoke liquid from palm oil waste. This research aims to process cellulose nanocomposite fibers combined with commercial starch and use them in biodegradable plastic by testing the effect of giving smoke liquid on the development of microbial substances in environmentally friendly biodegradable plastic food packaging. So the resulting product is expected to have the potential to reduce dependence on the use of synthetic plastic. This research aims to determine the optimum concentration of liquid acid from empty oil palm fruit bunches as an antimicrobial agent in the resulting bioplastic. The addition of liquid smoke changes the bioplastic properties of FTIR and XRD the attractive strength of bioplastic. The sample with the highest concentration of liquid smoke had the greatest tensile strength (2.34 MPa). The addition of liquid smoke concentration from empty oil palm shells showed a good inhibitory area for the development of bacillus cereus (10.8 mm).

The development of the palm oil industry today is increasing rapidly. The result of the palm oil industry is often a waste of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB). OPEFB can be processed into fibres that can ultimately be used as an engineering material. Concrete foam is one kind of lightweight concrete that uses foam as light aggregate. Concrete foam is made by stirring a mixture of cement, sand and water and the foam that has been created by using a foam generator to create the foam separately. Once the foam is formed and then incorporated into the concrete mixture into the mould. OPEFB fibres are used as reinforcement of lightweight concrete that participated in the mixed grout. The purpose of this study is to obtain the maximum tensile stress in the concrete foam to high-speed impact. The mechanical strength of the material is to impact loads obtained by 2 gage testing method by using an air gun compressor machine. High-speed impact the test results obtained by the average tensile stress is 4.54MPa at a distance of 50mm impact and pressure 0.3MPa. This indicates that the concrete foam reinforced OPEFB fibres is more effective to absorb the impact loads lighter than the brick found in the market.
