AB  - Curcumin and Fenugreek essential oil (FEO) were blended into the PLA matrix by 
      solution casting technique to improve the functional properties of the composite 
      film. Both fillers (curcumin and FEO) were properly combined and uniformly 
      distributed in the polymer matrix to create a PLA-compatible composite evidenced 
      by Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) 
      results. The addition of FEO and curcumin to the composite film improved 
      UV-blocking, surface color, tensile strength, flexibility, thickness, and Water 
      contact angle (WCA). However, the inclusion of curcumin and FEO slightly diminish 
      the Water vapor permeability (WVP) while maintaining its thermal stability. The 
      PLA-based composite film exhibited good antibacterial and anti-oxidant 
      properties. In addition, a food quality test was performed on strawberry, and the 
      results were compared to the commercial (polyethylene) film.
