cáscara de yuca, empaque bioactivo, lavanda, oréganoResumen
La cáscara de yuca constituye un residuo alimentario que se presenta como una alternativa viable para la fabricación
empaques biodegradables. La incorporación de aceites esenciales con actividad antimicrobiana en los empaques
biopoliméricos permite la obtención de materiales activos que incrementan el tiempo de vida útil del alimento. En esta
investigación se utilizó almidón de cáscara de yuca INIAP 650 para la elaboración de una película biodegradable para
ser utilizada como empaque alimentario. Se evaluaron propiedades fisicoquímicas, incluyendo el espesor, la densidad,
la humedad y la solubilidad en agua, ácido (HCl) y base (NaOH), propiedades ópticas (color) y biodegradabilidad.
Las películas se prepararon utilizando la técnica de fundido (casting) con la adición de glicerol como plastificante. En
la etapa final del proceso, se incorporaron aceites esenciales de orégano y lavanda por separado, así como sus mezclas.
Los resultados indican que la humedad y densidad de la película no se ven influenciados por la adición de aceites
esenciales, por el contrario, la solubilidad en H2O, HCl y NaOH se incrementa ante la presencia de aceites esenciales,
siendo proporcional a la concentración para el HCl y NaOH. El color de la película tiende hacia la oscuridad con
valores considerablemente más bajos que los obtenidos a partir de almidón de yuca. La biodegradabilidad de las
películas a los 21 días alcanzó una desintegración de hasta un 50% con relación a su peso inicial. Los resultados indican
que las películas elaboradas representan una nueva alternativa para aplicaciones de envasado activo de alimentos.
