Abstract:Menthol, a minty phytochemical found in peppermint and spearmint plants, is used in various products. However, it may have poor stability, especially when exposed to factors such as light and heat. In this context, this study reports the nanoencapsulation of menthol in electrospun gelatin fibers to improve its stability and release. First, inclusion complexes (ICs) of menthol were prepared with α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins (CDs) and then mixed with gelatin and electrospun into nanofibers. The molecular modeling… Show more
