The films containing a-tocopherol exhibited higher anti- oxidant activity than the films containing olive leaf extract for
both polymer compositions (Ecoflex and Ecoflex/PLA blend, Table 5). No differences on DPPH radical scavenging capacity was observed among the two polymer compositions studied. Therefore, the antioxidant potential of Ecoflex/PLA films was not significantly reduced despite that a lower amount a- tocopherol was recovered from these films compared to Ecoflex films.
