Bioplastics, anyone?

gaddemet. and so now, it`s again time for Science Investigatory Projects T_T we decided to make bioplastics from potato peelings [since we were told that any root crop is rich in starch (and that`s exactly what we`ll need) and secondly, bec the peelings are just waste products]

the prob is .. in our methodology. well, the teacher already and just corrected some technical errors but i`m guessing she didn`t have knowledge on the proper methods [or something] of course.

briefly, it`s like this:

1. Gathering of Potato Peelings

2. Extraction of Starch: making use of a blender?! is it just right?! T___T

3. Fermentation: using Lactobacillus *something*, from starch to lactic acid ? daaaaaaaaarn, and on a side note, how long does it actually take ? @_@

4. Filtration: bec the senior we consulted told us that the lactic acid is still unpure so we have to filtrate, is that correct?

5. Applying the *organic* plasticizer? .. yeah i think that`s it

daaaaaang u hafta help me with the detailed methodology T_T

  1. Here are some useful site results for you project concerning bioplastic from potato peelings.......

    1. An article related with the topic

    http://www.uoguelph.ca/plant/research/po...

    2. question 2 answer YES

    Q4--> filteration is urgent to make the lactic acid sediment free, true.

    If I will find an appropriate link, for which I am looking for, I will certainly add later.

    This is for now to work.
