KARAKTERISASI LABEL KOLORIMETRIK DARI KARAGENAN/NANOFIBER SELULOSA DAN EKSTRAK UBI UNGU UNTUK INDIKATOR KERUSAKAN PANGAN. Pada peneltian ini digunakan sumber antosianin dari ekstrak ubi jalar ungu (Ipomoea batatas) (EUU) dengan matriks karagenan dan nano fiber selulosa (NFC) dari serat daun nanas (Ananas comosus). Bahan yang digunakan merupakan bahan alam yang dapat diperbaharui dan digunakan pada industri pangan. Salah satunya adalah industri kemasan untuk digunakan sebagai kemasan aktif dan kemasan pintar, yang dapat digunakan untuk memonitor dan menginformasikan kepada konsumen terkait kondisi pangan secara langsung. Untuk mempersiapkan label indikator ini, matrik karagenan/NFC ditambahkan ekstrak zat warna dari ubi ungu dengan beberapa konsenstrasi (0%,1%,3%,5% v/v), kemudian dibentuk film dengan menggunakan metode casting. Beberapa karakterisasi dilakukan antara lain, uji stabilitas zat warna terhadap pH, morfologi sifat mekanik dan respon warna label indikator terhadap kerusakan pangan. Hasil yang didapatkan menunjukan label indicator tersebut sensitive terhadap perubahan pH. Perubahan warna label yaitu dari warna pink menjadi bening kehijauan. Dari hasil uji sifat mekanik label yang memilik nilai kuat tarik paling tinggi adalah label dengan penambahan ekstrak 1% yaitu sebesar 3,01 Mpa, sedangkan untuk label dengan penambahan ekstrak diatas 1% sifat mekaniknya cenderung menurun. Begitu juga dengan hasil elongasi dan WVTR, penambahan ekstrak menyebabkan label cenderung bersifat hidrofil, dan hal ini dibutuhkan dalam mekanisme perubahan warna label. Dari hasil ini mengindikasaikan bahwa penambahan EUU ke dalam matrik karagenan/NFC memiliki potensi untuk dijadikan idikator kolorimetrik deteksi kerusakan pangan. Kata kunci : Label indicator kolorimetrik, anthocyanin, karagenan, nanofiber selulosa.

Textiles release microfibers to the environment during production, use, and at end-of-life disposal. There is a potentially large and growing risk to the environment associated with microfiber pollution, which requires protection and sustainable development in the textile and fashion industry. To date, early-stage research efforts, perhaps the most important initial actions to explore more feasible and effective solutions, into microfiber pollution from the perspective of environmental sustainability have been fragmented. In this study, we discuss the sustainability of the textile and fashion industry for economic and social development. The potential sources of microfiber pollution are analyzed from the supply chain of the textile and fashion industry. Additionally, actionable solutions, including a shift in consumer behavior, retailer recycling programs, and government behavior in the development of a sustainable economy and environment protection for textile and fashion industry, are proposed. Finally, we conclude that there is no silver bullet solution to microfiber pollution until now, but a collaborative cross-sector group of related industries conducting comprehensive research to inform a multi-industry approach must form part of the answer.

Textiles have many uses in the household, industry and transportation industry. They are used for making clothes, bags, carpeting, towels, upholstered furnishings, beds, filtration, conveyors, vehicle tyres, car seat covers, sails and many more. Fibers are classified into two groups, namely, natural fibers that are harvested from plants (e.g. cotton, linen) or animals (e.g. wool, silk) or minerals (asbestos), and man-made fibers synthesized by chemical processes (e.g. chitin, viscose, glass fibers, ceramic fibers). Different methods are required to process natural and synthetic fibers into a yarn that could further be used to produce textiles. Unlike natural fibers, man-made fibers are made from polymers of natural origin produced from processing of natural materials (e.g. wood pulp), and those of synthetic origin obtained by organic polymerization reactions. Extrusion or spinning process is used to convert the polymers to fibers. The two major routes of producing fabrics are knitting and weaving. This chapter covers in detail the raw materials for the production of fiber, the different types of fiber and the methods and technology used for the manufacture of textiles from fiber. The textile industry poses major risks to the environment. The treatment protocols required to mitigate the release of chemicals, dust particles, metals, etc. into the environment have been considered in this chapter. An overview of the textile industry in Ghana is also presented.

A number of crucial issue regarding medical products in general and health care and hygiene products in particular have been identified and debated amongst clinical, environmentalists, drug companies, etc. for a long time now. The issues such as natural against chemical or manufactured fibres; disposables against reusable or durable fabrics; antibacterial or anti-microbial fibres against such finishes or coatings for infection control; and method of disposal of clinical waste i.e. landfill against incineration and other forms of medical and clinical waste disposal, are constantly being discussed in most relevant forums and conferences across the globe. There are pros and cons to using disposable nonwovens and reusable textiles infection control products. The decision-making process often becomes more difficult for healthcare facilities that are trying to reduce both disposal costs and high labour costs related to reprocessing. And when it comes to evaluating the safety and infection control abilities of disposable and reusable products, particularly surgical textiles, there is little consensus on which is better, other than the importance of balancing cost considerations relating to infection prevention issues and the environmental effects. From the discussion we would be able to say that the argument between disposables and durables for healthcare products will continue and one obvious solution of this argument is the increased and universal usage of biodegradable natural and manufactured fibres and products across the whole spectrum of the products. The recycling or disposal of clinical or medical waste materials poses problems of health and safety and availability and cost of landfill sites and incineration. This problem can be also controlled by using the reusable barrier fabrics with an improved laundry facilities and standards. But at last, “The Choice Depends On Customer”.

The vast amount of menstrual-related non-biodegradable waste produced in a nation like India, where women make up nearly 50% of the population, has serious environmental consequences. The bulk of the population in the country comes from low-middle class origins, therefore maintaining healthy menstrual hygiene practises with eco-friendly products calls for taking into account accessible and highly sustainable options. Furthermore, women are turning to the market for reusable products for inexpensive and durable alternatives because period poverty is now more prevalent than ever due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we investigated the Feasibility and Acceptability (FA) of a novel menstruation pad made of banana fibre in both rural and urban settings.

On the occasion of National Handloom Day, it gives me immense pleasure to present the coffee table book on Sustainable Handloom Traditions of India, that showcases the vibrant world of Indian handlooms and textile traditions, celebrating our rich cultural diversity, fine artistic skills, creativity and reverence for nature. These traditions stand as a beacon of sustainable practices based on ecological wisdom and cultural heritage. Our handloom sector is not just about weaving beautiful fabrics; it is also about weaving a sustainable future. Every region of the country has its own unique weaves and textile crafts, which have been preserved and passed on by communities over generations. The use of organic materials, natural dyes, and eco-friendly techniques reflect profound respect for nature and deep knowledge of our surrounding environment. The handloom sector has a critical role in revitalising the rural economy in a sustainable manner and contributing towards "Atmanirbhar Bharat". This coffee table book is unique in its presentation of the rich handloom traditions, challenges faced and the way forward. I am sure that the book will serve as a great resource for connoisseurs of our traditional textiles as well as those who are exploring a fresh and sustainable alternative in the form of different weaves, innovative fibers, natural dyes and embellishments in the textile and fashion sector.

Menstrual hygiene management is a big problem for women and girls in Zimbabwe as the sanitary pads are expensive. An average pack of 8-10 at $US1.50 is significantly expensive for females coming from low income families, which has caused women and girls to resort to unhealthy ways such as using grass and cow dung for managing their menstruation, which exposes them to infections. The aim was to develop a low-cost re-usable microfibre sanitary pad with good performance properties and low cost maintenance, affordable to poor women. The design was based on the Johnson and Johnson re-usable (a rectangular shape) sanitary pads. The new re-usable pad was developed from polyester microfibre materials. It has a pocket for an insert of another material that will enhance the collection of blood. The developed pad was tested for wicking, leakage and strike through properties. The newly developed pad exhibited better properties and yet cheaper than the commercial disposable pads.
