合成化合物的不规范和广泛应用,如防腐剂,杀虫剂,和毒品,对环境构成严重关切,粮食安全,全球健康。精油(EO)是这些合成化学品的有效替代品,因为它们具有治疗作用,抗氧化剂,和抗菌活性。薰衣草精油(LEO)可用于食品,化妆品,纺织品,农业,和制药行业。然而,它的生物活性可能因其不良的稳定性和溶解性而受到损害,这严重限制了其工业应用。封装技术可以改善LEO的功能并在储存期间保持其生物活性。这篇综述报告了通过不同方法封装LEO的最新进展,如脂质体,乳化,喷雾干燥,复杂凝聚,夹杂物络合,和静电纺丝。它还概述了不同的加工条件和载体对稳定性的影响,物理化学性质,和封装的LEO的释放行为。此外,本文综述了包封LEO在不同食品和非食品中的应用。
The unregulated and extensive application of synthetic compounds, such as preservatives, pesticides, and drugs, poses serious concerns to the environment, food security, and global health. Essential oils (EOs) are valid alternatives to these synthetic chemicals due to their therapeutic, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities. Lavender essential oil (LEO) can be potentially applied in food, cosmetic, textile, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries. However, its bioactivity can be compromised by its poor stability and solubility, which severely restrict its industrial applications. Encapsulation techniques can improve the functionality of LEO and preserve its bioactivity during storage. This review reports recent advances in the encapsulation of LEO by different methods, such as liposomes, emulsification, spray drying, complex coacervation, inclusion complexation, and electrospinning. It also outlines the effects of different processing conditions and carriers on the stability, physicochemical properties, and release behavior of encapsulated LEO. Moreover, this review focuses on the applications of encapsulated LEO in different food and non-food products.
