Recently, the use of bioactive compounds in formulations for developing biodegradable
packaging items such as coatings and films has gained attention among researchers. When
compared to conventional coating formulations, nanoemulsions provide better stability and
stronger elasticity, improved optical clarity, and bioavailability of functional components.
Nanoemulsions made from food-grade constituents could be effectively used in
encapsulation and delivery of functional molecules for their beneficial effect. This chapter …
