| Resource Title | Development of composite Saba banana (Musa acuminata x balbisiana) peel starch-soy protein isolate (SBPS-SPI) biodegradable film |
| Date Issued | 11 June 2025 |
| Abstract | Saba Banana (Musa acuminata x balbisiana) Peel (SBP) is the most common agricultural waste in the Philippines that is underutilized despite its potential in the food packaging industry. This study focused on the valorization of SBP as a potential source of starch (SBPS) through its development of composite biodegradable film packaging with Soy Protein Isolate (SPI). Specifically, the study selected the SBPS extraction method, assessed the biodegradable film properties, and standardized the selected blend formulation. Results showed that SBP yields starch at a range of 1-2% for two different extraction methods with no significant difference (p>0.05), suggesting that the ripening stage and storage conditions may have affected the amount of starch. Method 1 was selected as the SBPS extraction method as it resulted in better (p<0.05) properties in terms of moisture content, viscosity, and thermal stability. The composite biodegradable film comprising 25% SBPS extracted using Method 1 and 75% SPI was revealed as the most suitable combination in formulating films for better mechanical properties and stable thermal properties. The process for the formation of composite biodegradable films with 25% SBPS and 75% SPI was standardized. The study exhibited that SBP can be a good source of starch for the development of composite biodegradable films when blended with protein sources such as soy. |
