“…The other explanation for this result was the SAEO coating layer in the PP/SAEO/PET/TH/LDPE, as the coloring constituents and oil droplets of the SAEO in the matrix of the PP/SAEO/PET/TH/LDPE increased the light dispersion, thereby, reducing the transparency (Arfat, Benjakul, Prodpran, Sumpavapol, & Songtipya, 2014). Many other researchers (Ahmed, Mulla, & Arfat, 2016;Mulla et al, 2017;Perdones, Chiralt, & Vargas, 2016) who studied the characteristics of films with incorporated essential oil, also suggested that the essential oil reduced the film transparency. However, the difference in the transparency between the PP/SAEO/PET/TH/LDPE and control was neither numerically large nor detectable by the naked eye.…”
