“…The use of these compounds to the formulation of edible films and coatings could lead to a decrease of EOs amount needed, while the effectiveness of such oils on film behavior remains constant (Yuan et al, ). In the last few years, there is a plethora of studies where EOs were incorporated in polymers or biopolymers (Atarés & Chiralt, ; Jahed, Khaledabad, Almasi, & Hasanzadeh, ; Khalili et al, ; Paparella et al, ; Pelissari, Grossmann, Yamashita, & Pineda, ; Persico, Ambrogi, Carfagna, & Ferrocino, ; Pola et al, ; Shojaee‐aliabadi et al, ; Sotelo‐Boyás, Correa‐Pacheco, Bautista‐Baños, & Corona‐Rangel, ). The main drawback of a direct EOs incorporation with polymer materials is that during polymer processing the EOs bloom to the surface of the polymer rapidly and they escape via evaporation.…”
