Abstract: Optimization of film formula-based kappa-carrageenan and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was studied using a two-level, two-factor Design Expert 11® by Response Surface Methodology (RSM) Central Composite Design (CCD). The aim of this study was to obtain the optimal concentration of kappa-carrageenan and polyvinyl alcohol in producing films. The influence composition ⱪ-carrageenan and polyvinyl alcohol was characterized. The results showed the effects of k-carrageenan and polyvinyl alcohol had a significant effect on the response thickness, tensile strength, burst strength, elongation, solubility, water vapor barrier, opacity, color, and moisture content. The optimized condition for production k-carrageenan and PVA was 1.21% carrageenan and 1.93% polyvinyl alcohol, which was giving film with thickness 0.044 mm, tensile strength 16.69 MPa, burst strength 167.86 kPa, elongation 81.79%, water solubility 65.04%, water vapor permeability 7.49 g/m s Pa x 10-11, opacity 2.31, ΔE 2.42, and moisture content 19.13%.
