Alginate Biocomposite Films Incorporated with Cinnamon Essential Oil Nanoemulsions: Physical, Mechanical, and Antibacterial Properties

<div>Images of inhibition zones of CEO-NE-alginate films against (a) <i>S. typhimurium</i> and (b) <i>L. monocytogenes</i>, showing the largest and smallest halos, respectively, among tested bacteria. Films incorporating various CEO-NE concentrations were tested: (1) control, (2) CEO-NE 20%, (3) CEO-NE 25%, (4) CEO-NE 30%, and (5) CEO-NE 40%.</div>
