Abstract
This study reports on the investigation into the ability of nano sized jack fruit seed powder for the preparation of bioplastic films. Jack fruit seed powder, glycerol and vinegar was used as the raw materials for the starch-based bioplastic film preparation. This method is simple, eco-friendly and cost effective. Characterization of the bioplastic was done using XRD and FTIR analysis. Knowing the importance of bioplastic, we have attempted to improve the shelf life of the bioplastic film by incorporating silver nanoparticles prepared by green method using Ocimum tenuiflorum (Tulsi). An increase in shelf life of the films was observed on storage.
