Preparation, Optimization, and Characterization of Inclusion Complexes of Cinnamomum longepaniculatum Essential Oil in β-Cyclodextrin

Abstract

Cinnamomum longepaniculatum essential oil (CLEO) possesses antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. However, CLEO shows volatilization and poor solubility, which limits its application field. In this research, inclusion complexes of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with CLEO were produced, and its physicochemical properties were characterized. Response surface methodology was used to obtain optimum preparation conditions. A statistical model was generated to define the interactions among the selected variables. Results show that the optimal conditions were an H2O/β-CD ratio of 9.6:1 and a β-CD/CLEO ratio of 8:1, with the stirring temperature of 20 °C for the maximal encapsulation efficiency values. The physicochemical properties of CLEO/β-CD inclusion complexes (CLEO/β-CD-IC) were investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that correlative characteristic bands of CLEO disappeared in the inclusion complex. X-ray diffraction presented different sharp peaks at the diffraction angle of CLEO/β-CD-IC. The thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated the thermal stability of CLEO was enhanced after encapsulation. Tiny aggregates with a smaller size of CLEO/β-CD-IC particles were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The comparison of β-CD, CLEO, and physical mixtures with CLEO/β-CD-IC confirmed the formation of inclusion complexes.

Assessment of adenosine triphosphate content in sausages stuffed in different modified casing treatments added with orange extracts, utilising hyperspectral imaging combined with multivariate analysis

“…Figure 1 illustrates that the interactive effects of soy lecithin and orange extracts addition on ATP content were observed at a 5% significant level. Response surface methodology (RSM) is a robust statistical approach known for optimizing intricate processes ( 30 , 31 ) and offering insightful experimental designs, such as the central composite design. This method is crucial for understanding the correlation between process parameters and the quality characteristics of food products ( 32 ), particularly in situations where the influence of variables on the outcome is uncertain.…”

“…Then, CD was dissolved in methanol and homogenized using a magnetic stirrer at 50 °C. Subsequently, FNL was added to the mixture and homogenized again using a magnetic stirrer at 60 °C for 10 h. Afterward, placed in the oven at 60 °C to remove the solvent . Finally, the evaporated powder was mashed using mortar …”

Astragalus gombo as a renewable source of cellulose: Experimental and response surface approaches

“…The graphs in Figure 9 demonstrate that the extraction mass of cellulose increased as extraction temperature and time increased from 30 to 100°C and 1 to 4 h, respectively. 58 The optimal cellulose extraction mass is achieved by combining a medium extraction time with the lowest possible extraction temperature and NaOH concentration.…”
