English : Preparation and Evaluation of Edible Films from Broken Rice Enrichment with Rice Straw Components for Maximizing the Benefit of Each other

Abstract The aim of this study is to utilize of rice by-products by attempting produce a high value-added compounds. In the present work, cellulose was successfully isolated from rice straw and was chemically converted to hydroxyl propyl cellulose (HPC). At the same time, starch (s) was extracted from broken rice, then incorporated them into an edible film matrix by different ratios S/HPC: 4:1, 3.5:1.5, 3:2 and 2.5:2.5 and evaluate its properties physically, mechanically and microbiologically, afterwards these films used practically for coating different samples from apple slices, strawberry fruits and potato scrips to extend its shelf-life when stored at 4oC. Samples quality was evaluated by measuring weight loss, visible decay, microbiological quality and sensory evaluation. Also a varied concentration 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% of rosemary extract were studied as antimicrobial agent after adding in the formula of S/HPC edible film structure. Firstly, about S/HPC characterization, results revealed that, the presence of high HPC contents up to 40% (C-treated) had an excellent effect on the mechanical properties of S/HPC membrane which increased the percentage elongation at break (%E) and enhance the lightness, while decreased somewhat the tensile strength (TS) and WVP rate proportionally to the HPC content in the blend. No significant difference was exhibited among films containing 50% HPC in the blend. A maximum zone of inhibition against E. coli (7.0 cm), S. aureus (10.0 cm) and B. subtilis (11.0 cm) were obtained with C-treated films incorporated with 2.0% rosemary extract. Secondly, about coated samples, results revealed that C-treated had a significant effect on reducing the weight loss and percentage of infected samples during the storage period if compared with uncoated samples. Moreover, C-treated with 2.0% rosemary extract exhibited clear antimicrobial activity against TMAB, Coliforms, E-coli 0157:H7, S.aureus and Yeasts & Molds in all samples during the storage period. Regarding, sensory evaluation, more acceptance was observed up to 28 days storage at 4oC for coated apple & potato and up to 21 days for strawberry fruits. With more recently studies to provide and economically boost from rice by-products and maximizing the benefit of it, which represent 50% of the harvest, this study can added the ability for production of active food packaging with good characterization beside a little cost and permit finding economically boost for production nations.
