“…Synthetic antioxidants, such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), have been widely used to prevent lipid oxidation, but nowadays the use of natural antioxidants is of growing interest. In recent years, plant extracts and different polyphenolic compounds have been used to successfully improve the oxidative stability of seafood products (Medina et al, 2009;Pazos, González, Gallardo, Torres, & Medina, 2005b;Pazos, Sánchez, & Medina, 2005a;Tang, Sheehan, Buckley, Morrissey, & Kerry, 2001;Vareltzis, Koufidis, Gavriilidou, Papavergou, & Vasiliadou, 1997). These natural compounds, together with others such as chitosan, lysozyme or vitamin C, have been also added to biodegradable packaging materials in order to confer specific attributes, mainly antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, obtaining an active packaging biomaterial (Bower, Avena-Bustillos, Olsen, McHugh, & Bechtel, 2006;Gó mez-Estaca, Montero, Gimé nez, & Gó mez-Guillé n, 2007;Gó mez-Guillé n, Ihl, Bifani, Silva, & Montero, 2007;Ló pez-Caballero, Gó mez-Guillé n, Pé rez-Mateos, & Montero, 2005).…”
