ESGUERRA, NICOLE ANNE M., SALVACION, NOVELYN ELLEN G., ERANA, MARK CZERWIN P. Bioplastic using Banana (Musa paradisiaca L.).Research Study
(General Science Curriculum), Science High School, College of Education, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2014. Adviser: Prof. Ma. Corazon V. Herrera. Bioplastic using banana was conducted at Erana’s Residence, Brgy. Kaytambog, Indang, Cavite from December 2013 to January 2014, using the standard method of
making a homemade biodegradable plastic. The objectives of the study were to: (1) determine the percentage yield of the starch from banana; (2) determine the physical properties of the bioplastic from banana starch in terms of the following parameters: biodegradability, color, durability, texture; (3) determine the general acceptability of the bioplastic and (4) determine if there is a significant difference between the bioplastic from banana starch and commercial plastic. The needed materials were gathered in Kaytambog, Indang, Cavite. Bananas were cleansed using warm water, cut into thin slices and were placed into a sundryer until dried for one week. Sun Dried bananas were pounded and pulverised using a household grinder to obtain banana starch. Water, adhesive glue, glycerin, vinegar, vegetable oil, and banana starch were measured according to the specific treatments using a weighing scale and were placed on the pan in a low heat level and stirred continuously until it turns into a glue-like substance. When the mixture starts to produce bubbles, it was cooked for approximately three minutes until the mixture turned nearly translucent.The glue-like mixture was placed and spread on an aluminium foil. After spreading the mixture over the aluminium foil, it was placed outside the house for cooling and hardening process.
