Preparation and properties of films loaded with cellulose nanocrystals stabilized Thymus vulgaris essential oil Pickering emulsion based on modified tapioca starch/polyvinyl alcohol.

Cellulose nanocrystals were used to stabilize thymus vulgaris essential oil and create Pickering emulsions. These emulsions were loaded into modified tapioca/PVA-based films, which increased thickness, UV-blocking ability, and improved film properties for preserving fish fillets.
