This study aimed at to formulate a food-grade nanoemulsion of tarragon essential oil (NEO) and investigate its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Oil in water NEO was formed by blending 10% of tarragon EO (TEO), 85% water, and a mixture of 5% surfactants, then antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were evaluated. The main components of TEO were estragole, beta--ocimene, beta--ocimene, and l-limonene. NEO droplet had a diameter of 50 nm and a zeta potential of - 30 mV. Results of free radical DPPH scavenging activity revealed that hydrogen donating capacity of the nanoemulsion was significantly higher than TEO and at 2.5 µg/mL concentration it showed complete inhibitory activity against DPPH. The ferric reducing potential was almost similar for TEO and NEO. NEO showed higher antibacterial potential against and and . The results of this work indicated that NEO had higher antioxidant and antimicrobial activity compared with free TEO.
本研究旨在制备食品级龙蒿精油纳米乳剂(NEO),并研究其抗氧化和抗菌性能。通过将10%的龙蒿精油(TEO)、85%的水和5%的表面活性剂混合物混合,形成水包油型NEO,然后评估其抗氧化和抗菌活性。TEO的主要成分是草蒿脑、β-罗勒烯、β-罗勒烯和柠檬烯。NEO液滴的直径为50纳米,ζ电位为-30毫伏。自由基DPPH清除活性结果表明,纳米乳剂的供氢能力显著高于TEO,在2.5微克/毫升浓度下,它对DPPH表现出完全抑制活性。TEO和NEO的铁还原电位几乎相似。NEO对[具体菌种1]、[具体菌种2]和[具体菌种3]显示出更高 的抗菌潜力。这项工作的结果表明,与游离TEO相比,NEO具有更高的抗氧化和抗菌活性。
