Pengaruh Penambahan Tepung Biji Durian Pada Pembuatan Bioplastik
Plastic is a type of packaging that is often used in everyday life, however, in general, the
plastic used is synthetic plastic which takes a very long time to decompose. Bioplastic is
an environmentally friendly plastic film made from organic materials so that it can
decompose naturally with the help of microorganisms. This study aims to determine the
effect of adding various durian seed flour: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 grams which have
the potential as a supporting material in increasing bioplastic characteristics such as
thickness, water absorption and biodegradation. The method of making durian seed flour
is carried out through a process of sorting, washing, stripping, soaking, slicing, drying,
packing and storing. Meanwhile, the method of making bioplastics is done by mixing
tapioca flour, cornstarch, durian seed flour, distilled water, acetic acid and glycerin. The
analysis results obtained on the test of bioplastic characteristics, namely, thickness test
ranging from 0.63 mm - 0.84 mm, water resistance test ranging from 71,43%-86,54%
which water absorption test ranging from 13.46% - 28.57% and the biodegradability test
ranging from 17.78% - 47 , 06%.
Key words: durian seeds, bioplastics, biodegradability, flour.
