Utilization of Rice Straw Waste in the Manufacture of Edible Film (Study of the Addition of Lignin and Sorbitol)

Rice straw is a very abundant lignocellulose agricultural waste in Indonesia. This generally used as much 31% for animal feed, 7% industrial purposes, and 62% burned rice fields. burning can cause respiratory disorders such ARI cancer. Lignocellulose itself polysaccharide consisting of lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose. The lignin content be the production edible film, so to increase its usefulness reduce percentage incineration this Edible film thin layer made from materials laid between food components. main components constituting are hydrocloids/lipids/composites, fillers, plasticizers. use addition plasticizing agent make elastic. filler modify nature you want produce. Examples oligomeric substances fillers sorbitol lignin. In study, were added cellulose biomass derived straw. These stirred using magnetic stirrer at speed 400 rpm temperature 65oC 25 minutes before mixture printed on glass plate. After dried, an analysis tensile strength degradation carried out. results showed decrease value with lowest downward trend 3% 9 ml sorbitol. % show that tends without
