Volatile Compounds and Off-odors Analysis of PLA from Recycling Cycle for Biodegradable Packaging Applications: An Essential Factor for Ensuring Food Safety and Quality

Recent European guidelines support the use of recycled and biodegradable packaging for food applications that involve single-use materials. In this work, PLA pellets were submitted to post-consumer recycling cycle industry. HS-SPME-GC-MS HS-SPME-GC-O-MS methods have been used detect hazardous volatile compounds off-ofors profiles.
