Preparation of terpolymer capsules containing Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil and evaluation of its antifungal activity

The essential oil from Rosmarinus officinalis presents antifungal activity and is used in industry as a natural preserving agent. However, essential oils are unstable compounds. So, the encapsulation of essential oils is a technique used to protect it, minimizing degradation and reducing undesired...

Preparation of terpolymer capsules containing Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil and evaluation of its antifungal activity
description The essential oil from Rosmarinus officinalis presents antifungal activity and is used in industry as a natural preserving agent. However, essential oils are unstable compounds. So, the encapsulation of essential oils is a technique used to protect it, minimizing degradation and reducing undesired interaction with the other formulation components. Thus, this work focuses on the synthesis of terpolymeric capsules containing essential oil from Rosmarinus officinalis, aiming to use it as an antifungal component in cosmetics.
