Abstract

One factor that influenced colloidal structure is the composition of water, oil, and surfactant in the emulsions. This study aims to build a Winsor phase diagram of a mixture of water, eugenol, and Tween 20 and understand the physical differences in a range of micellar structures from the different compositions of the combinations. There were eleven samples with varying compositions of water, eugenol, and tween 20, and then were mixed and observed in parameters such as phase, appearance, and consistency. The results showed that the emulsion's compositions ingredients affected the character of the final emulsion. There were three categories of emulsions as described in the Winsor phase diagram. Water in oil (w/o) microemulsion was formed in the higher oil composition. In contrast, the lower oil content was macroemulsion/ coarse emulsion. The balance of oil and water composition was categorized as a bicontinuous microemulsion. This diagram will further help in constructing the suitable emulsion category for specific purposes.

Abstract

Food foams provide texture and structure for many food products, such as meringues. Meringues, a fundamental of culinary arts,  commonly consist of whipped egg white and sugar and have about most of the air phase. These types of composition allow for making different products with the same ingredients; thus, meringue design is essential to investigate foam stability and ability. This study aims to examine the foam stability of meringue using the different components such as protein as emulsifiers (egg white and gelatin) and the composition of sugars (icing and granule) on the foam stability and formation of meringue. Using gelatin as an emulsifier showed the foam more stable than egg white (>24 h), and adding the icing sugar with gelatin made the foam texture smoother. On the other hand, foam formation was faster when using emulsifier egg white, but stability was less than gelatin. The more stable foam produced by the combination of emulsifier and sugar ingredients would provide a better texture of meringue after baking, a smooth surface, no hole, and a more crunchy sweet taste. It was concluded that the composition of the ingredients and type of emulsifier would affect the stability and ability of foam, resulting in the character of the meringue after baking.

Abstract

Plastic waste in Indonesia has an impact that has caused high levels of environmental pollution. The use of plastic in everyday life as a packaging continues to increase, causing plastic waste to increase day by day. Plastic waste derived from petroleum raw materials is difficult to decompose by microbes in the soil. Biodegradable plastics are plastics that can be degraded by microorganisms and are made from renewable materials. Research on the use of biodegradable plastic synthesis has been developed because it is environmentally friendly and renewable. Biodegradable plastic is an alternative material to replace conventional plastic packaging so as not to pollute the environment. Biodegradable plastic is made with natural polymers as the main ingredient so that it is easily digested by microorganisms. Corn starch is a waste from corn processing used by the food industry. The starch content in corn starch can be used to make biodegradable plastic. In this study, biodegradable plastic was synthesized from corn starch with chitosan and calcium silicate as filler and then glycerol as a plasticizer. The purpose of this study was to determine the variation of filler on the results of biodegradable plastics made.  The characteristics of biodegradable  were  marked  by  the  presence  of  Tensile Strength, Elongation and Biodegradibility tests according to SNI Standards. The highest Tensile Strength value was obtained for the Chitosan variation of 2.62 Mpa and for the Calcium Silicate Variation of 2.8 Mpa, then for the Elongation Value for the Chitosan and Calcium Silicate Variations in accordance with SNI standards, which was 10-40% and for the Biodegradability of Chitosan and Calcium Silicate Variations.
