Essential oils (EOs), such as thyme essential oil (TEO), are widely known for their antimicrobial properties; however, direct application in food systems is limited due to poor stability, which affects efficacy. This study aims improve the stability and efficacy of TEO by encapsulating it Pickering emulsions stabilized with cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). Two formulations 5% 10% were prepared compared traditional surfactant-based emulsions. The was assessed over 21 days, particle size, zeta potential, Raman spectroscopy, FTIR used characterization. activity tested against several foodborne pathogens, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values determined. emulsion showed activity, MIC
