Lignocellulose based biofiller reinforced biopolymer composites from fruit peel wastes as natural pigment.

In this study, the utilization of mangosteen and durian peel wastes as bio-filler and natural pigment in biopolymer of polybutyrate adipate terephthalate (PBAT) were examined. The related research work of hybridization of both mangosteen and durian peels reinforced in biopolymer as cellulose-based bio fillers and natural pigment is rarely studied. The content variation of mangosteen powder and durian powder ranged from 0 to 30 wt% with an increment of 10.
