A higher thermal degradation temperature of the second and third stages was observed in films incorporated with both CEO and CWO compared with the control film. Our results indicated that both essential oils at a level of 20% did not improve the matrix’s thermal degradation.However, it was found that when the essential oil content reached 30%, CH films began thermal degradation at lower temperatures.The higher thermal stability of the films with essential oils could be associated with the interaction between the CH and oil
