Starch and Pineapple Extract
Starch and Pineapple Extract
-corn starch based films and cellulose extract from pineapple crown residue.The
cellulose fibers undergo alkaline treatment and bleaching to isolate them
effectively.The biocomposite films, produced with varying cellulose concentrations
(5%, 10%, 15%), exhibit reduced water solubility compared to pure starch films.
Additionally, films with 15% cellulose demonstrate lower water vapor permeability
rate (WVPR) than pure starch films. Thermal characterization shows no significant
changes in melting and gelatinization temperatures.
The study addresses waste accumulation and material misuse concerns, particularly
in the packaging sector. Biodegradable materials offer a sustainable solution, being
fully degraded by bacteria or fungi at the end of their useful lives. Utilizing waste
materials like pineapple crowns and enhancing starch with cellulose presents an
opportunity for sustainable packaging solutions.
The work emphasizes the importance of using waste as a raw material and
combining low-cost materials to produce biodegradable packaging. By deepening
understanding of pineapple crown cellulose properties and evaluating its association
with starch, the study contributes to the development of sustainable materials with
added value.

: The research articles discussed in the collection focus on utilizing pineapple plant
stem as a biomass for amino acid production through microbial fermentation,
particularly by Pediococcus acidilactici Kp10. The studies highlight the successful
hydrolysis of starch and cellulosic materials in the pineapple plant stem to generate
fermentable sugars, which are then used as carbon sources for amino acid
production. The results demonstrate the potential of pineapple plant waste as a
valuable resource for producing amino acids like methionine and lysine, with
comparisons between starch-based and cellulosic-based fermentation methods.

Addition of PPE and AVG improves the thermal stability ,antibacterial and antioxidant
properties of the films making it useful for packaging and preservation.It was
effective in increasing the shelf life of strawberry as it reduces the water vapour
permeability exhibiting antioxidant and antibacterial properties.

The total phenolic content (TPC) from pineapple peel migrated rapidly to water-
based food simulant, leading to enhanced antioxidant activity compared to fat-based
simulant. This suggests that pineapple peel, rich in pectin and phenolic compounds,
has the potential to serve as a natural plasticizer for producing edible films with
antioxidant properties for diverse food applications.
The text describes a study where phenolic compounds from pineapple by-products
were encapsulated using ionotropic gelation to enhance stability and preserve their
health benefits. The encapsulation process involved solid-state fermentation with
Rhizopus oryzae and ultrasound to obtain extracts, followed by encapsulation using
corn starch, sodium alginate, and Weissella confusa exopolysaccharide. The
encapsulates showed specific characteristics such as moisture content, solubility,
and wettability, and analysis revealed high total phenolic content and antioxidant
capacity, along with identification of six bioactive compounds, demonstrating the
potential for developing functional foods with enhanced bioavailability and health
benefits.
The text describes the valorization of pineapple peel waste into biopolymer-based
antimicrobial films using chitosan. By incorporating 1-3% of pineapple peel extract
(PPE) into the chitosan films, the resulting films exhibited reduced moisture content
and water solubility, along with enhanced antioxidant activity. The chitosan-PPE
films also demonstrated inhibitory effects against foodborne bacterial organisms,
with the highest inhibition observed against certain bacterial strains when 3% PPE
was included in the chitosan matrix.

In this study, pineapple shell waste was utilized to reinforce biodegradable foam
trays made from cassava starch through a compression molding process. Different
ratios of starch to fiber were tested, with the 95/5 ratio showing the best
combination of properties, including low thickness and density, good distribution of
fiber in the matrix, and improved tensile strength. However, the trays exhibited high
water absorption, suggesting the need for further research to enhance their
physicochemical and structural characteristics for potential use as an eco-friendly
alternative to petroleum-based packaging materials like expanded polystyrene trays.
The text discusses the analysis of pineapple peel fiber as an agricultural waste,
highlighting its composition and functional properties, such as insoluble fiber-rich
fraction (FRF) containing cellulose, pectic substances, hemicellulose, and lignin. The
FRFs exhibit significant water- and oil-holding capacities, swelling properties, and
cation-exchange capacities, indicating potential applications in functional food
ingredient development for calorie reduction or dietary fiber enrichment. The study
emphasizes that the physicochemical properties of these fibers are influenced by the
preparation method and composition, suggesting diverse potential uses based on
their unique characteristics.
The text discusses the development of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films with enhanced
properties by incorporating tannic acid (TA) and pineapple peel-derived cellulose
nanocrystals (PPNc). The study demonstrates that the introduction of TA and PPNc

films, while slightly reducing light transmittance. These modified PVA films show
potential as green and active packaging materials with enhanced properties for
various applications.
The text describes the utilization of pineapple peel waste to create biopolymer-based
antimicrobial films using chitosan, pineapple peel extract (PPE), and glycerol. The
addition of PPE decreased the moisture content and water solubility of the films,

flexible films. The chitosan-PPE films exhibited enhanced antioxidant activity and
inhibitory effects against foodborne bacterial organisms, with the highest activity
observed when 3% PPE was incorporated into the chitosan matrix.
