The effect of additional orange Pangkep (Citrus maxima) peel oil on characteristics and microbial inhibition of corn flour-based edible film

Abstract The edible film is a thin layer of hydrophilic materials made proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that replaces plastic packaging. This study was carried out to determine the effect adding Pangkep orange peel ( Citrus maxima ) oil on films based corn flour. Treatments applied in this research were concentration flour (2%, 4%, 6% (w/v)) (1%, 1.5%, 2% (v/v)). Measurement parameters tensile strength, elongation, thickness, moisture content, inhibition Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus . results showed composition had significant moisture, best formula treatment obtained with combination containing 4% 1% ).
