Abstract

Edible films are made from canna tuber starch, glycerol, aloe vera gel, and addition of purple cabbage extract (Brassica oleracea) aimed to determine the effect of temperature variation on the results of edible film synthesis and anthocyanin effectiveness of purple cabbage as a pH indicator. The stages in this study include isolation of canna tuber starch, extraction of purple cabbage, making aloe vera gel, determination of anthocyanin extract proportions, synthesis of edible films with varied temperatures, and characterization of edible film results. Optimal composition of cabbage extract as a pH bio-indicator is used for synthesis of edible film with temperature variations between 75-90oC and elongation of 26.6% and WVTR value of 4.750 g/m2
h at 85oC.
