Description
Summary:Investigation of capability of high potential pineapple ( Ananas comosus ) leaves powder (PLP) as reinforcing material on the starch-based foam production has not been reported. This study was aimed to characterize the physical and mechanical properties of starch foam formed from the mixture of cassava starch and PLP. The foams were made using a baking process on a thermo-pressing machine at temperature of 170°C and 180°C of the lower and upper mold temperature during 120 seconds. The starch foams were formulated with four different concentrations (0, 5, 10, and 15%) of PLP as reinforcement and tested for their characteristics of mechanical (compressibility) strength, water adsorption, morphological structure, density, color appearance, and biodegradability. Addition of PLP up to 15% improved the physical and mechanical properties of the foams.
