ImpactModerate impact

There is a recognition that such research could promote sustainable practices and reduce plastic waste, which signifies a positive outlook on the publication's influence.

Abstract in brief

  • This study explores creating a biodegradable cellulose film from banana pseudo-stem fibers using a special ionic liquid, aiming to offer an eco-friendly alternative to plastic packaging for mangos.
  • The cellulose film demonstrated higher gas and moisture permeability compared to traditional plastic (PE), which helps in better ripening and preservation of mangos by allowing gases like ethylene to escape.
  • The biodegradable cellulose film not only extended the shelf life and reduced disease in mangos but also decomposed completely in soil within four weeks, making it environmentally sustainable.

Bananas are one of the largest crops we grow, but most of the plant is inedible! So, what do we do with the waste? https://t.co/XXrm1Jjf3J https://t.co/6VQlkesvdg

“Everyone loves bananas. But because banana trees die and grow back every year, researchers want to find ways to recycle all that biomass -- from bioplastic, to solar panels, to skateboards.” https://t.co/PLvq5THoP1
