“In order to keep food quality and freshness, it is necessary to select correct materials and packaging technologies. In this way, current tendencies include the development of packaging materials that interact with the product. One of the several possibilities, which are being extensively studied, is the incorporation of active substances within the package material, as films based on cassava starch (Kechichian, Ditchifield, Veiga-Santos, & Tadini, 2010). Although many types of new polymers are being industrially produced (PLA, PHA, Bacterial neuraminidase PCL,
PEA and others), polymers from agricultural sources are the most studied by researchers, especially polysaccharides. Among the films made from polysaccharides, those obtained from starch are the most important because it is one of the most commonly used agricultural raw materials, since it is a renewable source, inexpensive and widely available (Souza, Ditchifield, & Tadini, 2010). Beyond this, it has good film-forming properties. Cassava starch has been extensively used to produce films and the results indicated that these carbohydrates are promising materials in this regard (Bertuzzi et al., 2007, Chen and Lai, 2008, Chillo et al., 2008, Famá et al., 2007, Famá et al., 2006, Kaisangsri et al., 2012, Kechichian et al., 2010, Mali et al., 2006, Müller et al., 2008, Pelissari et al., 2012, Souza et al., 2012, Veiga-Santos et al., 2011, Vercelheze et al., 2012 and Veiga-Santos et al., 2008). Films developed from starch are described as isotropic, odorless, tasteless, colorless, non-toxic and biodegradable (Souza et al., 2010). In a previous study (Souza et al.
