The research of active biodegradable multilayer materials are of current interest for developing functional and sustainable packages able to guarantee the microbiological safety of food. In this work, an active biodegradable trilayer packaging system composed of (1) an external layer of extruded polylactic acid (PLA) film, (2) an intermediate layer of electrospun PLA loaded with ethyl lauroyl arginate (LAE) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), and (3) an inner layer of chitosan processed by coating
