TL;DR: A review of the latest advances in antioxidant active food packaging, with special emphasis on antioxidant release systems, can be found in this paper, where various methods for incorporating antioxidant compounds in the package, the issues to be considered in packaging design, and various methods employed to evaluate the antioxidant effectiveness of active antioxidant materials are reviewed.

TL;DR: An overview of the most recent developments and technologies designed to include the active principle within the plastic packaging materials and generally termed active plastics technologies is examined.

TL;DR: In this article, the structural factors that cause polymers to behave as high barrier materials are discussed, taking as benchmark the properties of one of the most common barrier materials, polyethylene.

TL;DR: Active antioxidant food packaging films were produced by the incorporation of ascorbic acid, ferulic acid, quercetin, and green tea extract into an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) matrix as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The materials here developed with the combination of antioxidant substances that constitute the green tea extract could be used in the design of antioxidant active packaging for all type of foods, from aqueous to fatty products, the compounds responsible for the protection being those with the higher compatibility with the packaged product.
