In this sense, nanoemulsions based on polysaccharides such as
alginate and EOs as antimicrobial agents may be used for edible
films formation, which could be considered a new generation of
edible packaging. The particular properties observed in nanoemulsions
regarding to the conventional emulsions could be
extrapolated to the physicochemical and functional properties of
the edible films formed from them. Previous studies have evaluated
the formation of films based on nanoemulsions prepared by low energy
methods and high-energy techniques such as ultrasounds
or high-speed homogenization
