Polyvinyl-alcohol is a synthetic bioplastic, which is fully degradable and water soluble. Recently, PVA has received attention because of its biocompatibility and its good physical properties, which are due to the presence of OH groups and the hydrogen bond formation (Bonilla et al., 2014). PVA also has good film form- ing capability, giving rise to odorless, non-toxic films with high tensile strength and flexibility, good oxygen and aroma barrier properties, good transparency and chemical resistance.
