Sea Squirt Shell Protein and Polylactic Acid Laminated Films Containing Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil

Abstract

Sea squirt shell has been discarded after the consumption of sea squirt, and sea squirt shell protein can be a base material for biodegradable films. In this study, sea squirt shell protein and polylactic acid laminated films containing cinnamon bark essential oil were developed. The developed films are promising environmentally-friendly alternatives for active packaging material.
