The present study carried out the GC-MS and FTIR analyses of raw materials (ripe plantain peel powder, cassava starch, glycerol, acetic acid (vinegar) and eggshell powder) produced from food wastes that are used in production of biofilm. The GC-MS results revealed the presence of pentadecane, bis (2-methylpropyl) ester and benzoic acid, 3-(2-Hydroxy-6-methylphenyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinone). The FTIR analysis revealed 17 peaks for glycerol, 16 peaks for vinegar, 15 peaks for cassava starch, 16 peaks for eggshell; representing the functional groups of ether, ethene, amine, carboxylic acid, nitriles, methylene cyclic ester, primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols common to hydrocarbons. The presence of carboxylic acid was important for enhancing the mechanical and chemical properties of biofilms thereby making them viable alternatives to petroleum-based plastics. Amines contributed to the flexibility, strength, and thermal degradation resistance of biofilms, thus aiding in their biodegradability. In conclusion, the study showed that the raw materials possessed biological activities and their functional groups indicated that the raw materials are safe to humans and the environment.
