Step 3
• Squeeze the sweet
potato mixture in a
white towel to separate
the water
Step 4
• Water are pour into beaker and
starch are left alone in water
Step 5
• Take out the starch and transfer into petri dish.
• Starch baked in the oven and form powder.
PART 2:PRODUCE BIOPLASTIC
Step 1
• Put water into beaker that
containing starch, then
add hydrochloric
acid,propan-1,2,3-triol into
beaker
Step 2
• Heat the mixture by using
bunsen burner.
• Bring it carefully to boil and
boil it gently for 15
minutes.Make sure it does not
boil until dry if might, stop it
Step 3
• Put some solution into petri
dish and litmus paper used for
testing the pH.
Step 4
• Sodium hydroxide added for
neutralize the mixture.
Test again with litmus
paper
Step 5
• Solution are take out into board
for drying to form bioplastic
PART 3:TEST PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY
PROPERTIES OF BIOPLASTIC
pH of bioplastic
• Add universal indicator into beaker
that containing bioplastic.
• Then record the change of universal
indicator before and after sodium
hydroxide added into bioplastic
Testing Tensile Strength of bioplastic
• Hang the mass of 10 g(initial mass)
on the bioplastic.
Both bioplastic of yam and sweet potato are neutral which are
6.9 and 6.8 respectively. It shown that starch of yam and sweet
potato show partially soluble when reaching high temperature.
