Abstract

Paper and paperboard are commonly laminated with polyethylene (PE) to enhance its functionality but defeated it purpose as recyclable material. In an effort to encounter the issue, biopolymer composite film from cassava starch and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was studied as alternative of PE as film coating material. In this study, glycerol and turmeric oil was added in the biopolymer film as plasticizer and antifungal agent, respectively.
