(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-08-27) SANTOS, Josiel Ferreira; PASCA, Gabriel Adolfo Cabrera; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5642784995274060; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9411-0889
This work investigates the incorporation of the alcoholic extract of Vismia Guianensis (EAVG) cassava starch, aiming to improve its bioplastic properties. Cassava starch was dissolved in distilled water at the following concentrations with 0.2%, 0.5% and 1.0% EAVG under controlled temperature at the gelatinization point (~70 °C) and then molded to form bioplastics. The prepared samples were characterized by Attenuated Total Reflectance/Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR/FTIR), Thermogravimetric and Thermal Differential Analysis (TGA-DTA), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Spectroscopy Dispersive (SEM/EDS), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and mechanical assays, providing insights into chemical composition, thermal stability, crystallinity, surface morphology and mechanical properties. These techniques comprehensively characterized cassava starch bioplastics with EAVG addition, highlighting their enhanced mechanical properties. The results demonstrated that EAVG played an effective role as a plasticizer, increasing the flexibility, resistance and stability of the biofilm that has a thickness of 0.8 mm, and supports a traction of 4.19 to 18.43 MPa. This study justifies EAVG as a promising additive for the production of biocompatible and sustainable materials, suitable for numerous applications in biodegradable plastics. EAVG presents a path forward for the advancement of bioplastics with improved mechanical, thermal and functional properties, with a promising future in terms of their contribution to new developments in these areas.

The general objective of this thesis is “Obtaining, evaluating and applicability of biodegradable films of yellow hake (Cinoscyon acoupa), cassava starch (Manihot esculenta C.) and fatty acids in post-harvest fruits” and presents three interconnected articles. The first one entitled “Influence of the addition of glycerol and fatty acids on the rheological and technological properties of films composed of Cynoscion acoupa”, and deals with the study carried out with films of lyophilized myofibrillar proteins (PML) and fatty acids (stearic (PE), palmitic (PP) and caproic (PC)). The addition of PE and PP acids and glycerol significantly increased the viscosity of film-forming solutions (SF). The films named PE (1% PML (w/v) and 0.5% stearic acid (w/w)) and PP (1% PML (w/v) and 0.5% palmitic acid (w/w)) showed better water vapor permeability (PVA) and solubility properties, with more ordered structures (crystalline) and better thermal resistance when compared to the other films. The second article “Rheological and technological properties of composite films obtained with myofibrillar proteins from yellow hake (Cynoscion acoupa) and cassava starch (Manihot esculenta C.)”, evaluated the influence of different concentrations of proteins and starch on the rheological properties of SF and film technologies. Starch had a significant influence on SF. The analyzes indicated that the interaction between these biopolymers is positive for the production of packaging for different types of food, and the composite film F4 (1% PML (w/v), 2% starch (w/v) and 30% glycerol (w/w)) showed better PVA, solubility, mechanics and thermal resistance. The third “Evaluation of the biodegradation of films composed of proteins from yellow hake(Cynoscion acoupa), palmitic acid and starch (Manihot esculenta C.) and its application as a coating on post-harvest fruits”, evaluated the biodegradation of the films in soil and the behavior of papaya fruits coated with F1 film (commercial film - PVC polyvinyl chloride), and coatings F2 (1% PML (w/v) and 0.5% palmitic acid (w/w)) and F3 (1% PML (w/v), 2% starch (w/v) and 30% glycerol (w/w)), using the uncoated fruit as a control. Biodegradation indicated that the F2 and F3 films were considered biodegradable and as expected the F1 did not degrade, however, the F2 was considered the most suitable to be applied as a coating when compared to the others, as it increased its shelf life by 6 days of the fruits. ..
