Syntesis and characterization of zein nanoparticles loaded with essential oil of Ocimum gratissimum and Pimenta racemosa

Essential oils are extremely volatile and chemically unstable when submitted to a processing, and new strategies are necessary to stabilize them, prolonging and preserving their characteristics. In present research, essential oils of Ocimum gratissimum and Pimenta racemosa were analyzed by CG/MS. Zein nanoparticles loaded with Ocimum gratissimum and Pimenta racemosa were syntetized and their physichochemical characteristics, antioxidant...
