Characterisation of zein microcapsules with encapsulated geraniol or wintergreen essential oil for controlled release as an aphid repellent
Microencapsulation of geraniol and wintergreen oil by the maize protein, zein, was investigated. The efficiency of encapsulation, the morphology of micro-particles and the controlled-release kinetics of the geraniol-zein system were studied. The main findings were the following: ? Geraniol-to-zein m...
