An article of manufacture includes an oxygen scavenger and poly(lactic acid).
The article can be in the form of a film, coating, gasket, liner, insert, sealant,
or fibrous matte. A film includes at least one layer including an oxygen scavenger,
and at least one layer including poly(lactic acid). A package can be made from
the film for enclosing an oxygen-sensitive artice such as food. The poly(lactic
acid) blocks the migration of odor causing byproducts of the oxygen scavenging
process. A method includes providing a film including at least one layer including
an oxygen scavenger; and at least one layer including the poly(lactic acid); and
exposing the film to actinic radiation. A method for reducing migration of organoleptically
significant compounds is also disclosed.
