Encapsulation of α-Pinene in Delivery Systems Based on Liposomes and Cyclodextrins
The essential oil component α-pinene has multiple biological activities. However, its application is limited owing to its volatility, low aqueous solubility, and chemical instability. For the aim of improving its physicochemical properties, α-pinene was encapsulated in conventional liposomes (CLs) a...
