n the past, the interaction between food and package was
avoided due to its possibility of changing the food quality [5e8].
To date, it has been proved that some interactions do not affect
the quality of food but capable to retard the food deterioration
[6,7]. Antimicrobial packaging technology is one of the novel
concepts which provide the interaction between food and packaging
material while maintaining nutritional and sensorial qualities
as well as safety [5e8]. This technology has drawn much
attention from many researchers to produce polymer based
antimicrobial packaging especially the use of bio-based essential
oil and biopolymer
