“…Some articles have evaluated the release kinetics of active compounds from functional packaging (Zhong, & Li, 2011;Flores, Conte, Campos, Gerschenson, & Del Nobile, 2007;Licciardello, Muratore, Mercea, Tosa, & Nerín, 2013;Peng, Wu, & Li, 2013;Colín-Chávez et al, 2014;Marcos et al, 2014), this approach takes into account the effect of the matrix and the partition coefficients of the compounds between the matrix and the contact phase. However, in the case of antioxidant packaging, a simple method for the assessment of the effectiveness should focus on the effect produced (i.e., the total antioxidant capacity) rather than on the amounts of compound released, especially in the case of mixtures of compounds, such as natural extracts.…”
