| Objective: To evaluate the morphological and thermo-mechanical properties of a biofilm obtained from orange peel. Design/methodology/approach: Pectin, a polysaccharide obtained from orange peel, has the potential to be used as a raw material in the bioplastics industry. The samples obtained were characterized by the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) technique, mechanical tension and by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Results: The elastic modulus was in the range of 7.7 to 29.9 MPa, depending on the plasticizer content. The thermogravimetric analysis showed a thermal decomposition between 134.42 to 153.98 °C depending on the plasticizer content and up to five events were identified. Limitations of the study/implications: During the process, a pectin yield of 75% of orange peel was obtained. Findings/conclusions: In developing countries such as Mexico, waste originating from agricultural and agro-industrial activities represents an important source of natural carbohydrate polymers that can be used to produce bioplastics, intended to replace petroleum-derived materials. In the case of orange peel, it can become a potential raw material to obtain value-added products in sectors of the food industry. These results indicated that our pectin has suitable properties to be used as raw material for the manufacture of bioplastics Aknowledgements: To the Juárez Autonomous University of Tabasco, for its support in carrying out the TGA tests. The authors are grateful with the Instituto de Investigation en Materials from the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) for the support to practice the mechanical and thermal tests. | |
