Abstract

In the present study the rhizome of Maranta arundinacea L. Arrowroot was selected for a rich source of starch for the preparation of biofilm. Firstly some physicochemical properties of the selected sample were determined by AOAC method. Furthermore the elemental analysis of the selected sample was carried out by Energy Dispersive X ray Fluorescence EDXRF spectroscopy. Moreover antimicrobial activities of various solvent extracts were examined by Agar well diffusion method on six tested organisms. And then the qualitative determination of starch tests such as Iodine test and Tannic acid test were done. In addition starch from Arrowroot powder was isolated and confirmed by FT IR spectrum. Finally starch biofilms were prepared by using isolated starch and various ratios of plasticizers PVA PEG and Sorbitol. The characterizations of seven kinds of prepared biofilms were measured.
