Development and evolution of natural antioxidant active packaging

Since 1930s, production of synthetic plastics from non-renewable resources (mainly from petroleum) has been growing with applications in different fields. The use of plastics in packaging began after World War II. Polyethylene films introduced transparent and resealable bags, being the bread bags t...
