Microencapsulation of Essential Oils Application in Textile: A Review

Abstract:

Essential oils (EOs) widely known to possess various beneficial properties which are vital in numerous fields such as fragrance, flavour and medical. However, its high volatilities cause it ineffective in handling and utilizing for commercial application such as in textile. Although microencapsulation technology can trap oily components stably to fibers, a lots of affecting factor needs to be considered in order to have high performance microcapsules which can serve specific application. This review paper emphasize on microencapsulation of EOs and their promising benefit in textile application. Techniques and material use to produce EOs microcapsule, also process condition, aiding agent and fabric impregnating procedure are also reviewed for further studies.
