Green Plastics: Poly-lactic Acid Synthesis from Waste Tamarind Seed Powder & its Applications IJTSRD



In the era of sustainable development there is a necessity to produce biodegradable polymers to minimize the soil pollution. With the need of the hour Green plastic is the polymeric material formulated for specific applications, which is derived from the Tamarind seed de-oiled cake starch. Through the series of unit operations, starch which is produced can be fermented by Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Lactobacillus amylophylus and Lactobacillus amylovirus. The polymerization reaction of Lactic Acid is carried out by using a catalyst. To cope up with the scarcity of valuable petroleum product & to minimize the environmental pollution, Green plastic materials play an important role for sustainable development.
