In this study, polylactic acid (PLA)/cinnamon bark oil (CBO) films were prepared via solvent casting method andcharacterised for their physical, optical, mechanical, and antioxidant properties. A 15 % loading of CBOsignificantly (p < 0.05) improved the water vapour barrier, tensile strength, and elongation at break, while itseffects on film thickness and water solubility were insignificant (p ≥ 0.05). At a 30 % CBO concentration, thefilms exhibited over 99 % UV light blockage at wavelengths of 200, 280, and 400 nm. Antioxidant assaysdemonstrated strong radical scavenging activities, with maximum DPPH and ABTS scavenging values of 93.30 %and 99.40 %, respectively. Controlled phenolic migration studies were conducted using aqueous (10 % ethanol),lipophilic (50 % ethanol), and acidic (3 % acetic acid solution) food simulants to investigate the behaviour of thePLA/CBO film and their antioxidant activities in various food systems. The migration results followed anexponential time-dependent trend, with the highest migration in 50 % ethanol, indicating the films’ efficacy inpreventing oxidative deterioration in fatty foods. These findings demonstrate the potential of PLA/CBO films asactive and sustainable packaging materials, offering enhanced barrier, mechanical, and antioxidant propertiescompared to pure PLA films, making them promising candidates for reducing food waste and extending productshelf life.
