Since there has been an increasing interest in natural, non-toxic, and biodegradable food packages instead of plastic ones, scientists put great effort into eliminating the potential drawbacks of these biodegradable films. In this study, citric acid (CA) was utilized as a crosslinker for the films produced by chitosan (CS), chickpea flour (CF), and active agent curcumin (CUR) by a solvent casting technique. CA was introduced into the film for-mulations at different concentrations (0, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% w/v), and the influence on the functional film char-acteristics were extensively analyzed.Increasing CA concentration in formulation caused a reduction in water vapor permeability (WVP) of the films such that the film with the highest CA concentration (1.5-CUR/CF/CS) was 62.6% more resistant to water vapor than film without CA (0-CUR/CF/CS). When CA concentration in the film formulation was increased, elongation at break (EAB) value increased from 1.64% +/- 0.13%, to 11.1%+/- 1.21% whereas tensile strength (TS) value decreased from 7.83 +/- 0.08 MPa to 3.58 +/- 0.20 MPa. Contrary to expectations, antioxidant activity of the films decreased with increasing CA concentration. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns of the films proved the amorphous nature and inhibitory characteristic of CA against retrogradation. In addition to all these, CA concentration significantly influenced Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) pattern of the films with the increasing number of degradation stages. Besides the cross-linker characteristic of CA, it also extensively enhanced the antibacterial characteristic of the films. Films formulated with 1.5% (w/v) CA (1.5-CUR/CF/CS) showed antibacterial effect against both Escherichia coli (E.coli) (ATCC 11229) and Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) (ATCC 43300). Finally, chicken breast packed with 1.5-CUR/CF/CS films remained below unacceptable microbial threshold limits even at the end of the 9th-day of storage compared to samples packaged with the film with no antibacterial activity.

Selective sulfate sorption from boric acid factory process liquor: Chitosan-bentonite biocomposite film synthesis as sorbent
Kaya, Fatih; Ozer, Ahmet (2022-09-01)
Chitosan is a natural polymer that is renewable, biocompatible, and biodegradable. Bentonite is a natural mineral with low environmental effects. For this reason, chitosan- bentonite biocomposite film was synthesized as a sorbent and its characterized by FT-IR, SEM, EDX, CHNS elemental analysis and thermal analysis techniques. The sorbent was utilized for selective sulfate (SO42  ) sorption from boric acid factory process liquor, because one of the most important problems in the boric acid productio...
DATABASE STUDY ON THE SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT OF PLASTIC WASTE UTILIZATION IN CONCRETE: TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE WASTE MANAGEMENT ROUTE
Nwaokete, Chima Daniel; Ceren, Ince; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2023-1-26)
The non-biodegradable nature of most plastic waste has devastating impacts on ecosystems, the biophysical environment, and human health. The current waste management alternatives such as landfilling, incineration and recycling are often accompanied by adverse effects on the environment. Although concrete incorporating polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate has been investigated in the literature, the diverse use of these plastics along with the variances in the mix concrete constituents has brought al...

Plastic products are a part of our everyday life, but there are rising concerns worldwide that petroleum-based plastics are having detrimental effects on the environment. These products have estimated degradation times ranging from 20 years for vending machine cups, to 100 years for PET plastic bottles and 500 years for polystyrene foam caps and dishes. Although recycling is improving, about 75% will still be disposed into landfills and new strategies that can overcome this environmental problem will need t...

The intensive use and wide-ranging application of plastic- and plastic-derived products have resulted in alarming levels of plastic pollution in different environmental compartments worldwide. As a result of various biogeochemical mechanisms, this plastic litter is converted into small, ubiquitous and persistent fragments called microplastics (<5 mm), which are of significant and increasing concern to the scientific community. Microplastics have spread across the globe and now exist in virtually all environ...
Polylactic acid recycling with environmentally benign fluids
Bozcuoğlu, Çağla; Dilek Hacıhabiboğlu, Çerağ; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Department of Chemical Engineering (2022-2)
In the past few decades, petroleum-based polymers have been replaced by biodegradable polymers since they bring about environmental problems. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a good candidate for this replacement due to its biocompatible and biodegradable nature and favorable mechanical and thermal properties. Due to the increase in usage and demand, there will be a PLA waste problem in the near future. Although PLA is classified as a biodegradable polymer, only a few microorganisms, which are not present in all so...
