Abstract
- Essential Oils (EOs) are a substance composed of two phases. A liquid and volatile substance that has aromatic, antibacterial, antioxidant. The properties of EOs are not new to humanity. Indeed, these began to take a role from the first civilizations (Egyptian civilization). Where EOs used as preservatives and flavourings. Nowadays, the use of the EOs is the same. Avoid the growth of bacteria and viruses (theoretical) in food, the contact surface (chairs of the bus), tables, fabrics (clothes). During these last years, the industrial world took the relevance of the microencapsulation technique. This technique pretends to capture the EOs to reach two main objectives. First, contain all his active compounds into a microcapsule to prevent the degradation of the environment. Second, release control into the media, contact surface, or fabrics. Microencapsulation is a beneficial technology to improve fields of biomedicine and the food industry. Besides, the impregnation of these microcapsules on fabrics can develop a lot of new properties. Indeed, the antibacterial and antioxidant properties. The amount of these properties requires an accurate and meticulous methodology. The formation of the microcapsules is very complicated to explain from one point of view. Therefore, it is necessary to collect all the available data. Nevertheless, the research count with very sophisticated equipment, which can provide us with very accurate results. Nanosizer, Spectrophotometer, SEM. The meaning of this research is to make sure if it is possible to control either the diffusion of the EOs and his chemist properties (diameter and morphology). Simple coacervation of microcapsules of ß-cyclodextrin (B-CD) with lavender (L) is the technique that we will follow at the beginning of this research. These simple microcapsules will be impregnated in different fabrics: Polyester (PET), Cotton (COT), and Polyamide (PA). After his impregnation, we must wait until dry in the ambient and make the drug d<br />Peer Reviewed<br />Postprint (published version)
