%X In this work, three different bio-polymers, i.e. a commercial
  starch-based polymer (Mater-Bi£¿) a bio-polyester (PLA), and
  a bio-polyether (PEO) were additivated with quercetin, a
  natural flavonoid antioxidants, in order to formulate biobased
  films for eco-sustainable packaging and outdoor
  applications. The photo-oxidation behavior of unstabilized
  and quercetin stabilized films has been evaluated and
  compared with that of films additivated with a commercial
  synthetic light stabilizer. Obtained results show that
  quercetin molecules are able to slow down the photodegradation
  rate of all investigated bio-polymeric films,
  opening new avenues in the formulation of fully renewable
  polymer-based systems
