ABSTRACT

We developing a two-component, Pectin and polyvinyl Sodium alginate (NaAlg) based composite film loaded with natural plant extract of Sunflower seed. The solution casting technique is used to produce pectin and sodium alginate films. When Pectin was combined with Sodium alginate, the water absorption of the film increased, and glutaraldehyde (0.5 ml) was used as the crosslinking agent. The compatibility of these two biopolymers was determined by FT-IR and XRD. The exact ratio of Pectin and Sodium alginate was used. Medicinal plants are widely used in everyday life for various diseases. The extraction of Sunflower seed has been used as an antibacterial agent. The composite membrane was found to have the best antibacterial properties, A gelatine swelling assay was also used to evaluate swelling parameters. Pectin/Sodium alginate films loaded with Sunflower seed were tested for antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli bacteria (E. Coli bacteria). These results suggest that Pectin/Sodium alginate bio-composites can be used as special materials in the food packaging and biomedical industries. We analysed various analysis techniques, including SEM, and TGA to examine the properties of the films. Keywords: Pectin/Sodium alginate (NaAlg), Sunflower seed, Antibacterial& SEM, TGA, FTIR, XRD
