Bertotto, Carlize published the artcileDevelopment of a biodegradable plastic film extruded with the addition of a Brazilian propolis by-product, Related Products of esters-buliding-blocks, the main research area is Brazilian propolis development biodegradable plastic film.
The development of new materials environmentally friendly has become an important market niche for the food industry. The agro-industrial wastes and byproducts can be an alternative for the production of biodegradable food packaging. The work aimed to produce biodegradable plastic film extruded with antioxidant and antibacterial properties by the joining of cassava starch and Brazilian propolis byproduct (BPB). The volatile profile of BPB, Brazilian propolis byproduct film (BPBF), and control film (CF) were analyzed by gas chromatog. The mech., antioxidant, and antibacterial properties of the films were also assessed. Eighty-seven volatile compounds were detected with aldehydes and terpenoids predominating in the samples. The major terpenoid detected in the samples was the 2-pinen-10-ol followed by α-copaene. Benzaldehyde and benzenepropanoic acid Et ester were the major aldehyde and ester classes present in the films. The BPBF exhibited promising mech. properties showing the highest Elasticity modulus (11.96 Mpa) and excellent antioxidant (8.45 mmol Trolox equivalent/g) and antibacterial (12.5 mg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella Typhimurium) activities. The valorization of agro-industrial byproducts following the current trends to environmental care can be a sustainable alternative for the development of a plastic into which the propolis byproduct is incorporated in biodegradable packaging.
