Chicken meat has high nutritive value and widely consumed over the world. It contains high-quality proteins, some minerals and vitamins, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and several bioactive compounds, which are beneficial for human health (Barbut, 2002;Karakök et al., 2010). However, the shelf life of fresh chicken is limited as a result of its susceptibility to spoilage (Barbut, 2002). Therefore, efficient storage technologies are needed to improve its shelf life in fresh state without unfavorable impacts on the organoleptic specifications of the product.Nowadays, nanotechnology-based methods are used in food industry to solve the food-associated problems. The used nanoparticles not only make changes in color, taste, or texture but also increase the shelf-life of the foodstuffs (Huang et al., 2010;Moraru et al., 2003). Among the nanoparticles, nanoemulsions are oil-in-water emulsions with average droplet size of less than 500 nm and stabilized by a suitable surfactant (Lovelyn & Attama, 2011). The substances applied to make nanoemulsions, including oil and surfactants, should preferably be approved for human consumption and regarded as "Generally Recognized as Safe" (Lovelyn & Attama, 2011;McClements, 2020).Comparing to conventional emulsions, nanoemulsions have some advantages such as better optical clarification, high resistance to particle aggregation and gravitative separation, and improved bioaccessibility of encapsulated materials; these specifications make nanoemulsions appropriate for food applications (de Oca-Ávalos et al., 2017).
