Development of Biodegradable Food Packaging Incorporated with Pigment of Rose and Red Cabbage

Food packaging is essential for maintaining the quality and safety of food. Excessive food made plastics could be harmful to environment. Plastic takes a long period time biodegrade while most them do not are To improve properties extend shelf-life packaged food, development biodegradable implemented by using natural renewable resources main materials such as extracts from plants due its ability decompose in short time. In this case, polymers films needed reduce external influence environment oxygen moisture. paper, usage red cabbage rose pH indicator was introduced through extractions solvents ethanol water. The production film incorporates starch chitosan solution were compared with commercial packaging. Each samples or used preparation hot press method. This paper will examine results chemical interaction mixture FTIR biodegradability film, mechanical like tensile strength, physical pH, colour thickness film. Commercial gave better result term strength biodegradability. It also showed that than terms preventing spoilage. all quite similar peaks fall into single bond region.
