This research has a goal is to find
out the synthesis of Cellulose Nanocrystal (CNC), from the skin of durian (Durio Zibethinus
Murr) using acid hydrolysis and ultrasonication methods. Knowing the characteristics of the effect the addition
Cellulose Nanocrystal (CNC) from the synthesis results, with consecutive addition of 0%, 1%,3%, 5% and 7% on a gelatin-based bionanocomposite edible film with a mixture of
0.75% glycerol. Characterization of edible film nanocomposite includes
tensile strength test,
¸elongation test, functional groups determined using FTIR spec- trophotometer,
SEM test, and biodigradability using soil burial test method. The test results of bionanocomposite edible film with
the addition of CNC successively
show a tensile strength value of 2.501; 1,982; 2,218; 2,219; 1,951 MPa; elongation of 44.8%, 63.3%, 25.1%,
40.6%, 43.4%; biodegradability showed degradation of 67.30; 86.50;
89.37; 91.99; 94.78; 91.99%; the FTIR
test showed the presence of the same functional group as the cellulose functional group in
the synthesis of nanocellulose; in
the PSA particle size analyzer test, the average
particle size value was 310.5 d.nm; and in the SEM test use to know the morphology of the edible film matrix
after the addition
of 5% CNC.
