The TGA curve for Proallium® showed a first weight loss of
around 80% at temperatures up to 150 C and a second one (the
remaining 20%) at temperature above 350 C. The TGA curve for PLA
film showed just one weight loss in the range 350 Ce450 C.
Considering these values, the weight losses obtained in the TGA
curves for the different PLA films with Proallium® can be clearly
identified. In this sense, the first weight loss at temperatures of
approximately 150 C was related to Proallium® while the second
step at 350 C mainly corresponded to the thermal degradation of
the PLA polymer. Therefore, the TGA thermograms confirmed the
presence of Proallium® in the polymeric matrix after the extrusion
process. The concentrations of Proallium® were calculated from the
weight losses observed in Fig.1 at 150 C divided by 80% (weigh loss
of Proallium® at 150 C) which gave as results approximately 1.3%,
4.4% and 5.1% w/w for formulations with a nominal amount of 2%,
5% and 6.5% w/w, respectively. Therefore, there was a direct relationship
between the nominal content of Proallium® (i.e., the
amount introduced into the extruder) and the actual content
quantified in the films by TGA. Several authors reported that the
losses of essential oils observed were due to volatility during the
development of the active packaging systems (Altiok, Altiok, &
Tihminlioglu, 2010; Ramos et al., 2012). Similarly, in the present
work, the results obtained in the TGA analyses revealed lower
quantities of Proallium® than those added in the production process,
probably due to the volatility of its components as well.
