The aim of this study was to investigate starch and starch based edible films with and without oregano essential oil addition in terms of crystallinity by using X-ray diffractometry. Starch crystallinity is related to amylopectin linear chains which may give different X-ray diffraction patterns, described as A, B and C chains. Diffraction pattern of starch based edible film without essential oil addition showed broad diffraction peak in 15-20° 2θ region, indicating destruction of A-type crystal structure due to experimental conditions of casting procedure used in this work. Diffraction peaks of samples with 0.5 %, 1 % and 2 % oregano essential oil, whose shapes are to some extent retained after oregano oil addition, were centered at 20.8°, 20.1° and 21.6° 2θ respectively, while pattern of sample with 2% oregano essential oil showed additional diffraction peaks at 31.1°, 35.1°, 38.3°, 44.5° and 64.9° 2θ. X-ray diffraction patterns showed polyamorphous nature of investigated starch samples with essential oils addition.
