In the present work, biofilms were elaborated by means of the casting method using a 2x2x3 multilevel factorial design with a replica, being the factors: sorbitol concentration (60% and 80%), process temperature (85°C and 95°C) and proportions of potato starch (P) and corn starch (M): 0%M:100%P, 25%M:75%P and 50%M:50%P, for the determination of the best formulation based on their mechanical properties: tensile strength (RT, MPa) and elongation (E, %). The results were accepted with a 95% confidence level (p < 0.05) and by comparison of LSD means. The selected treatment was obtained using sorbitol at 60%, process temperature at 95°C and mixing ratio at 50%P:50%M, obtaining 6,23 N/mm2 of RT and 14,67% of elongation. This formulation was used as a polymeric base for the second stage, where 0, 1 and 2,5% of oregano essential oil (AEO) was added using an individual categorical factor de...
