Mesquite seed gum (MSG) was extracted and confirmed as a galactomannan.
Film were prepared from nanoemulsions of palm fruit oil (PFO) in water and MSG.
Effects of nanoemulsion sonication and PFO content on film properties were assessed.
PFO increased hydrophobicity and impaired film transparency and tensile properties.
Nanoemulsion sonication time decreased contact angles and improved tensile strength.
