Composition of the studied multilayered films. The thickness of all films was maintained constant at 100 µm.

System	LDPE/EVOH Ratio	No. of Layers	Carvacrol Content * (w/w %)	HNTs Content (w/w %)
LDPE/EVOH	80/20	9, 17, 33, 65	0	0
(LDPE/carvacrol)/EVOH	80/20	9, 17, 33, 65	6	0
(LDPE/HNTs)/EVOH	80/20	9, 17, 33, 65	0	3
(LDPE/[HNTs/carvacrol])/EVOH	80/20	9, 17, 33, 65	6	3
Neat LDPE	N/A	1	0	0
LDPE/carvacrol	N/A	1	4	0
LDPE/(HNTs/carvacrol)	N/A	1	4	2
