A blend of lemongrass, clove, and thyme essential oils encapsulated in hydroxypropyl methylcellulose nanofibers by electrospinning: characterization and biological activity
This study demonstrates that electrospun hydroxypropyl methylcellulose nanofibers successfully encapsulate a lemongrass, clove, and thyme essential oil blend, resulting in a thermally stable, homogeneous material with high encapsulation efficiency and potent antibacterial and antifungal activities suitable for food industry applications.
