| Abstract: | The present invention relates to a fruit based leather-like material for application in fancy lifestyle and other consumer product industries. The material may contain up to 90% of fruit fiber. A process for the preparation of the material with different size/thickness ranges is also provided. It essentially involves pulping of the fibrous matter present in waste spoiled fruit, mixing the fruit pulp with polymer as well as other additives, followed by casting and drying. The process is based on near zero discharge concept excluding the seed, into the environment. The final material, is flexible and exhibits good mechanical properties, being adequate for small consumer products. The unique feature of the technology is that it leads to a value added non-hazardous, eco-friendly product that finds potential multiple industrial applications in textiles, leather, packaging and other life style product industries. The implementation of the process is possible with minimum investment. |
