This first approach entails the disintegration of the film prior to the analysis of the antioxidant capacity. Consequently, the interactions between the matrix and the antioxidant additives taking place in the film are modified. In fact, this type of analysis could be regarded to as a quantification of the antioxidant capacity of the film components,but not so much of the film it self.Therefore,it cannot be considered that this procedure mimic the actual antioxidant effect of the film.
