The NPs produced are good candidates for incorporation in
functional foods since they have properties that are adequate for
this purpose. The NPs have sizes (300–600 nm) that will permit a
safely use, zeta potentials values that indicate that these NPs will
adhere to the intestinal epithelium and will potentially release
the antimicrobial compound to the gut. It was also noticed that
the variation among the inhibition percentage changed in higher
extent when the compounds where loaded in the NPs than when
