  4. Abstract:
  5. In this study, active poly lactic acid (PLA) films containing 0, 10, 20 and 40% w/w propolis extract (PE), as active agent, were developed. A high amount of phenolic content (PC) was measured in PE. The antioxidant effect of active PLA films was determined by measuring the PC of sausage slices after 0, 2 and 4 days storage at refrigerator. Results showed that phenolic compounds of PE were released from PLA films in quantities proportional to PE concentration. Disc diffusion test indicated that PE showed an inhibitory effect against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterial species but was more effective against gram-positive species. PE containing PLA films had antimicrobial effect on S. aureus while in the case of P. aeruginosa, PLA/PE films needed polyethylene glycol (PEG)/CaCO3 content to show inhibitory effect. Addition of PE changed the tensile strength, elongation at break and elastic modulus of PLA films negatively. However, addition of PEG/CaCO3 improved the film mechanical properties and antimicrobial effect of films. © 2019, Association of Food Scientists & Technologists (India)
