Macromolecules Biochemistry The pollution caused by synthetic plastic packaging can be reduced by using bioplastic as an alternative. These bioplastics are created using peel from Musa ABB cv.

Banana peel and rice starch are combined to create bioplastic, which is then moulded with glycerol-sorbitol as the plasticizer. This study's methodology involves combining pureed peel with HCl, glycerol, sorbitol, rice starch, and NaOH, which is then dried in an oven for one and a half hours at 130 C.

Based on the analysis BP film from over ripe banana peel most soluble in water. Solubility in alcohol showed that unripe ‘awak’ peel film and over ripe ‘Berangan’ peel film soluble more in alcohol. Water absorption confirmed that unripe peel absorbs more water than ripe and over ripe peel. All bioplastic film reduces their weight when contact with acidic and alkali solution. However, in salt solution, film from ‘Awak’ unripe and ripe increase in mass at the end of day four. This has due to the fact that NaCl prevents starch from retrograding and increases its stability.
