Indian jackfruit seeds were collected from local market of Virudhunagar. Jackfruit seeds powder, glycerol, gelatin, were used as raw material for starch based bioplastic preparation. Starch was extracted and biofilm was prepared. The prepared biofilm was analysed by Tensile strength test, Acid and Alkalinity test, solubility and Flame test. Starch content of the biofilm was also analysed by FTIR method.
