The invention claimed is: 1. A biodegradable composition for the preparation of items in contact with food material, comprising: between 40 and 97% by weight of poly(lactic acid) polymer, and between 0.5 and 35% by weight of co-polyester polymer with adipic acid, and between 1 and 32% by weight of
The invention claimed is: 1. A biodegradable composition for the preparation of items in contact with food material, comprising: between 40 and 97% by weight of poly(lactic acid) polymer, and between 0.5 and 35% by weight of co-polyester polymer with adipic acid, and between 1 and 32% by weight of mineral particles, wherein said mineral particles further comprise at least one component selected from the group consisting of magnesium, silicate and combinations thereof, each on the basis of the total weight of the biodegradable composition. 2. The biodegradable polymer composition according to claim 1, to which composition during its preparation less than 5% of an organic peroxide, on the basis of the total weight of the final biodegradable composition, has been added. 3. The biodegradable composition according to claim 2, wherein the amount of organic peroxide added is less than 2%. 4. The biodegradable composition according to claim 2, wherein the amount of organic peroxide added is between 0.1 and 1.8%, on the basis of the total weight of the final biodegradable composition. 5. The biodegradable polymer composition according to claim 2, wherein said organic peroxide is selected from the group consisting of diacetyl peroxide, cumyl-hydro-peroxide, and dibenzoyl peroxide, dialkyl peroxide, 2,5-methyl-2,5-di (terbutylperoxy)-hexane and mixtures thereof. 6. The biodegradable polymer composition according to claim 1, said composition further comprising between 5 and 45% by weight of poly(epsilon caprolactone), on the basis of the total weight of the biodegradable composition. 7. The biodegradable polymer composition according to claim 1, said composition further comprising a plasticizer. 8. A molded article comprising a biodegradable composition, said biodegradable composition comprising: between 40 and 97% by weight of poly(lactic acid) polymer, between 0.5 and 35% by weight of co-polyester polymer with adipic acid, and between 1 and 32% by weight of mineral particles, wherein said mineral particles further comprise at least one component selected from the group consisting of magnesium, silicate and combinations thereof, each on the basis of the total weight of the biodegradable composition. 9. The molded article according to claim 8, said molded article being selected from the group consisting of utensils, food service-ware, forks, spoons, knives, chopsticks, containers, cups, foam material products, plates and pots. 10. The molded article according to claim 8, to which composition during its preparation less than 5% of an organic peroxide, on the basis of the total weight of the biodegradable composition, has been added. 11. The molded article according to claim 10, to which composition during its preparation less than 2% of an organic peroxide, on the basis of the total weight of the biodegradable composition, has been added. 12. The molded article according to claim 10, to which composition during its preparation between 0.1% and 1.8% of an organic peroxide, on the basis of the total weight of the biodegradable composition, has been added. 13. The molded article according to claim 8, said composition further comprising up to 5% of a mono-ester, on the basis of the total weight of the biodegradable composition and/or a plasticizer. 14. An extruded article comprising a biodegradable composition, said biodegradable composition comprising: between 40 and 97% by weight of poly(lactic acid) polymer, and between 0.5 and 35% by weight of co-polyester polymer with adipic acid, and between 1 and 32% by weight of mineral particles, wherein said mineral particles further comprise at least one component selected from the group consisting of magnesium, silicate and combinations thereof, each on the basis of the total weight of the biodegradable composition. 15. The extruded article according to claim 14, said extruded article being selected from the groups consisting of films, trash bags, grocery bags, container sealing films, pipes, drinking straws, spun-bonded non-woven material, and sheets. 16. The extruded article according to claim 14, to which composition during its preparation less than 5% of an organic peroxide between 5 and 45% by weight of poly(epsilon caprolactone), on the basis of the total weight of the biodegradable composition. 17. The extruded article according to claim 14, wherein the composition further comprises up to 5% of a mono-ester, on the basis of the total weight of the biodegradable composition, and/or a plasticizer. 18. A method of producing an article comprising a biodegradable composition, said process comprising the steps of: (i) providing a biodegradable composition, said composition comprising between 40 and 97% by weight of poly(lactic acid) polymer, and between 0.5 and 35% by weight of co-polyester polymer with adipic acid, and between 1 and 32% by weight of mineral particles, wherein said mineral particles further comprise at least one component selected from the group consisting of magnesium, silicate and combinations thereof, each on the basis of the total weight of the biodegradable composition, (ii) mixing the constituents of (i); (iii) heating the mixture to a temperature of from 150 to 200째 C. and (iv) forming the resultant mixture to obtain a desired shape. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein the step of forming includes subjecting said biodegradable composition to a process selected from injection molding, blown film extrusion, profile extrusion, and thermoform extrusion. 20. A method of producing an article comprising a biodegradable composition, said process comprising the steps of: (i) providing a biodegradable composition, said composition comprising between 40 and 97% by weight of poly(lactic acid) polymer, and between 0.5 and 35% by weight of co-polyester polymer with adipic acid, and between 1 and 32% by weight of mineral particles, wherein said mineral particles further comprise at least one component selected from the group consisting of magnesium, silicate and combinations thereof, each on the basis of the total weight of the biodegradable composition, (ii) mixing the constituents of (i) with at least one organic peroxide; (iii) heating the mixture to a temperature of from 150 to 200째 C. and (iv) forming the resultant mixture to obtain a desired shape. 21.
