Development and Characterization of Pectin-Based Antimicrobial Packaging Films Containing Nanoemulsified <i>Trans</i>-Cinnamaldehyde by Fatemeh Baghi, Sami Ghnimi, Géraldine Agusti, Emilie Dumas, Adem Gharsallaoui

“…The analysis showed that the addition of emulsified TC enhanced the light barrier properties, but the opacity of films increased due to the increase in light absorption, coalescence, and light-scattering phenomena. Films containing the nanoemulsion of TC exhibited reduced tensile strength and elasticity due to structural discontinuities in the film network caused by the presence of the nanoemulsion of TC, while elongation at break increased for TC concentrations of 2.50% and 2.00%. …”
