Characterization ofl-polylactide andl-polylactide–polycaprolactone co-polymer films for use in cheese-packaging applications

Abstract: Impact-modified and unmodified L-polylactide and L-polylactide-polycaprolactone co-polymer films were evaluated for their suitability as materials for cheese packaging. The polymers were in some cases compounded with nanoclays as a possible route to enhanced barrier properties and/or with cyclodextrin complexes designed to provide slow release of encapsulated antimicrobials for control of mould growth on packaged cheeses. The materials demonstrated complete biodegradation under controlled composting conditions… Show more

“…Overall migration tests were undertaken to determine the total amount of non-volatile substances that might migrate into foodstuffs from PLA films, following in-package plasma treatment (Plackett, et al, 2006). Overall migration results for the control and plasma treated samples (80 kV for 3.5 minute treatment) are shown in Figure 6.…”

“…Homo-, co-and terpolymers of D,L-lactide (DLL), glycolide (G) and ε-caprolactone (CL) have received much attention in the search for biodegradable polymers for potential use in biomedical [1] and packaging [2] applications. Each of the three homopolymers: poly(DL-lactide), polyglycolide and poly(ε-caprolactone) is biodegradable via a simple, non-enzymatic hydrolysis mechanism.…”
