Physicochemical study of natural zeolite modified with lavender essential oil

Abstract

Zeolite-containing nanocomposites as candidates for Lavender oil delivery systems were investigated. The nanocomposite samples and lavender oil delivery systems were investigated by pore size distribution and X-ray diffraction (XRD), the specific surface area with Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer, energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) analysis and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). These initial results could significantly contribute to the further development of applications for lavender essential oil delivery systems based on natural zeolites as innovative bioactive products.
