Abstract: A compostable multilayer film includes a core layer having a first surface and a second surface, a first blocking reducing layer covering the first surface of the core layer, and a second blocking reducing layer covering the second surface of the core layer. The core layer comprises a lactic acid residue-containing polymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) below 20° C. At least one of the first and second blocking reducing layers comprise a semicrystalline aliphatic polyester. The core layer may be peroxide modified polylactide polymer which exhibits bridging between polylactide polymer chains.

Abstract: A canola line has been stabilized to produce seeds having an &agr;-linolenic acid content of less than that of generic canola oil, more preferably less than or equal to about 7% &agr;-linolenic acid relative to total fatty acid content of said seed and a total glucosinolate content of less than 18 &mgr;mol/g of defatted meal, more preferably less than or equal to about 15 &mgr;mol/g of defatted meal. This canola line has reduced sulfur content of less than or equal to 3.0 ppm, improved sensory characteristics and increased oxidative stability.
