There is growing concern about the potential risks posed by synthetic additives in industrial products, such as foods, cosmetics, agrochemicals, and personal care products. Many plant-derived essential oils (EOs) have been shown to exhibit excellent antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antioxidant activities, and may therefore be used as natural preservatives in these applications. However, most EOs have relatively low water solubility and are prone to chemical degradation during storage. The degradation products of EOs can be toxic and may not be able to fully exert their biological activity, which limits their application. Typically, these challenges can be overcome by encapsulating the essential oil in an appropriate colloid delivery system. This article begins by reviewing the sources, extraction, and activity mechanisms of EOs, and then highlights plant-based encapsulation technologies that can be used to enhance their efficacy. Finally, the potential applications of plant essential oil encapsulation system are discussed.
人们越来越关注工业产品中的合成添加剂所带来的潜在风险，这些产品包括食品、化妆品、农用化学品和个人护理产品等。许多植物源精油（EOs）已被证明具有出色的抗菌、抗真菌、抗病毒和抗氧化活性，因此可在这些应用中用作天然防腐剂。然而，大多数精油的水溶性相对较低，并且在储存过程中容易发生化学降解。精油的降解产物可能有毒，并且可能无法充分发挥其生物活性，这限制了它们的应用。通常，通过将精油封装在合适的胶体递送系统中可以克服这些挑战。本文首先回顾了精油的来源、提取和活性机制，然后重点介绍了可用于提高其功效的基于植物的封装技术。最后，讨论了植物精油封装系统的潜在应用。
