**8. Influence of flavor incorporation on edible coating properties**

Flavoring incorporation can influence the mechanical and barrier properties of edible coatings and films due to physical changes generated in the network structure. Edible coatings can incorporate a variety of active agents, such as Flavorings, to enhance food quality and safety. Changes that are induced depend on elements including molecular size, polarity, shape, Flavor affinity, and the polymer molecules of coatings and films [60].
