Image processing is an essential tool to evaluate food structure. Image processing includes two-dimensional (2D) images of surfaces and sections, such as those seen under a microscope, and three-dimensional (3D) images of internal structures, such as those obtained by confocal microscopy, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. This research used image processing to determine the hardness and compressibility of edible biofilms impregnated with nanoemulsion. Gum arabic-gelatin (PG) (1:1) edible film containing thyme essential oil (Zataria multiflora Boiss) was prepared with Pickering emulsion (1 and 4 g/100 g). Scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope images were prepared from the films. The AFM and image analysis results showed that increasing the essential oil decreases the compression rate and the surface roughness increases.
