Obtención de sorbetes a base de bioplástico derivado de corona de piña (Ananas comosus L.).

Abstract

One of the most widely used materials in the world is plastic, which is part of the production of countless food and non-food products has produced negative effects on the environment worldwide, which has generated a high percentage of waste pollution. Single-use plastics are used daily for everyday situations, meetings, dinners and coexistences in general, so non-degradable or degradable long-term garbage accumulates. With this background the objective of this work is the search for an optimal and effective alternative to generate a bioplastic with characteristics similar to conventional plastics with biodegradable materials. For the formulation of this product pineapple crown (Ananas comosus L.) containing large amounts of cellulose will be used, which is subjected to a crushing and mixing process with different natural components such as cornstarch, glycerin and others to finally obtain a product with a low humidity. A flexible biodegradable material will be obtained that will allow to mold certain containers.
