Development of Antibacterial Biocomposites Based on Poly(lactic acid) with Spice Essential Oil (<i>Pimpinella anisum</i>) for Food Applications

Among the main biodegradable food packaging materials, poly-lactic acid (PLA) is a commercially successful polymer used notably in the food packaging industry. In this study, active PLA films containing different percentage of anise essential oil (AE) (0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5% <i>v</i>/<i&g...
