Nowadays, food packaging is one of the major plastic wastes
accumulating in the environment due to its non-biodegradabillity
[1,2]. Major part of this waste comes from short-serviced life food
such as dairy, meat and vegetable products. In recent years, the
utilization of biodegradable polymers has drawn much attention
from both industries and research institutions especially for nondurable
applications [2e4]. Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) is one
of the biodegradable polymer derived from glucose fermentation
and butanediol. Literature reviews indicated that PBS is one of a
tough polymer with mechanical and thermal properties comparable
to some petroleum based polymers [4]. Thus, PBS is possibly to
be one of the commercial biopolymer in the near future
