- Functional biopolymeric materials for active food packaging: the case of monolayer films of thermoplastic starch and olive leaf extract. Sousa, Rita Silva, José M Verano-Naranjo, Lidia Cejudo-Bastante, Cristina Facchinatto, William M Almeida, Adelaide Silvestre, Armando J D Freire, Carmen S R Vilela, Carla Active packaging materials based on biopolymers and natural additives represent a significant innovation, offering a sustainable solution of packaging combined with multifunctional bioactive properties to extend the shelf-life of food products. In the present study, bioactive films composed of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and an olive leaf extract (OLE) were fabricated via solvent casting. OLE was used in different concentrations, namely 5 and 10 wt.%, and the films were plasticized with glycerol (20 wt.%). The ensuing homogeneous films are translucent (50% < transmittance
