Biodegradable products from agro-waste

With the recent ban being imposed on plastics, there is a great need for alternative biodegradable materials for plastics. In this regard, I am working towards developing various biodegradable and edible products like plates, cups, bowls, glass, and straw, etc. from various agricultural residues and by-products such as wheat bran, rice bran, sugarcane bagasse, fruit peels, coconut waste, seafood waste, pineapple leaf & banana waste, etc. The developed product is shelf-stable up to a period of 10 to 12 months and heat resistant up to 1000°C with production cost varying between 1.5 – 2.5 INR for plates of size 5-15 inches.

Various agro residues based biodegrdable products

Vegan leather from agro-waste (Pineapple leaf, corn husk, banana stem, mango waste, and Banana stem) as alternative biomaterials design (handbags, sheet cover, shoes, raincoats, etc.)

The production of the animal and imitation leather utilizes harmful chemicals that lead to contamination of soil and water, which causes great environmental issues. The high contents of dissolved, suspended organic and inorganic solids in tannery effluents give rise to potentially toxic metal salts, chromium, and metal ions and increase biological oxygen demand. Moreover, killing the animals endangers the environment, so people prefer to produce leather from vegeform. Now vegan leather has huge demand and is widely used in many applications, such as handy crafts, bags, and packaging materials, developing bio composite substitutes to leather using sustainable bacterial cellulose, grown using agricultural waste sourced from the mango waste, corn waste, pineapple leaves fiber, banana stem fiber, and coconut waste having immense opportunities. The developed product has resembled the aesthetics and workability of leather. It can be cut, stitched, glued, embossed, printed, and painted. While vegan biomaterials are a strong material built to last long, it breaks down and disintegrate over the years. It poses no harm to the soil, nor emits any harmful fuel. It is completely biodegradable.

Paper-based food packaging materials (containers, wrappers, carry bags, cardboard boxes, and thermocol boxes)

Paper is generally produced by pressing together the moist fibers, typically cellulose pulp derived from wood, rags, or grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets. However, the current annual output of wood pulp cannot meet the strong growth in demands, thus leading to an increasing shortage of wood raw materials and gradual deforestation of some areas of the planet. In recent years, many countries have explored the possibilities of non-wood raw materials for paper production. Conversely, paper-based products are generally hydrophilic, deprived of water barrier resistance on account of their cellulosic fibers and porous microstructure. Petroleum-based polymers are commonly used as coating for papers to acquire hydrophobic behavior, better thermal stability, and moisture resistance. However, these toxic coating materials are a major concern for the environment due to recycling and disposal issues after usage. The technique of surface coating is considered to be one of the versatile methods that can refine the properties or achieve certain functionalities and unenviable contamination can be concealed. Bio-sourced and easily biodegradable green coatings on papers are progressively acceptable options in contrast to regular Petro-based coatings for food packaging and other packaging applications.

Agro waste based biodegradable poly bags and grocery bags (Food packaging application)

Agro-wastes includes prawn shell waste, corn husk, silk cocoons, vegetable waste, Rice husk, cocoa waste and tapioca waste usually discarded. Accumulation of agro-waste may cause health, safety and environmental concerns. These agro-wastes contain insoluble chemical constituents (e.g., Protein, starch, cellulose and lignin) and soluble constituents (e.g., sugar, amino acids, and organic acids). Recently, many studies and research are focussed towards developing agro-waste based bioplastic for polytene grocery bags. The protein from sea food waste (piles of crab and prawn shells), silk cocoons (fibroin) reacting with starch of cocoa, rice waste and tapioca form a network structure having flexible, strong and exhibits all the properties of plastic.   These agro-waste based bioplastic products (polytene cover, food packaging covers) have potential use in catering services for railways and aviation, restaurants, pilgrimage centres, community halls, social functions etc.

Post-harvest process engineering

Innovations in agricultural post-harvest processing

The post-harvest system is a vital and dynamic component of the agricultural complex. It involves cleaning, grading, drying, processing, storage, transport and marketing account for a growing part of their final value. The major problem was lacking of advanced processing methods and machinery; this leads to increase the post-harvest loss of agri crops for this problem. For this purpose, I have collaborated with various organisations (KCAET, CPCRI, GBPUAT) for designed and developed various machineries for post processing agriculture crops for the farmers, micro and macroscale industries and cooperative societies. The developed machineries have 95% efficiency, minimum energy consumption and low cost for purchase of farmers and entrepreneurs such as cocoa processing, jackfruit processing, spice processing, tuber crops, coconut and fruit, and vegetable processing.

Innovation in Thermal and non-thermal application for processing of food

Another major issue in the food preservation and storage. To improve the storage life of food without loss of nutrients and flavor, we have applied non-thermal process such as ozone, cold plasma, pulse light and pulse electric filed to minimize the microbes, inactivation of enzymes, reduce the oxidation in the food. For this developmental research collaborated with various organization (KAU, GBPUAT, Panthnager, ICAR-CPCRI, Kerala, Kansas State University, USA.) and the output has Published papers in high impact journal.
