Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the potential and effective composition of a combination of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and dried mango leaves as environmentally friendly biofoam. The research was divided into three stages, named the material preparation stage, the biofoam molding stage, and the testing stage. The conclusion of this study is the combination of sorghum and dried mango leaves can be used as biofoam with the best composition, which is 196 grams of sorghum starch: 4 grams of waste fiber of dried mango leaves: 2 grams magnesium stearate: 80 cm3 of glycerin; and 80 cm3 of polyvinyl alcohol.
