Abstract:The concern against long-term health and environmental adverse effects of synthetic pesticides has encouraged the development of biopesticides. Eugenol, a major constituent of clove oil, has been proven as potential bio-pesticides. However, the evaporation and photosensitive properties of Eugenol need to be controlled. Nano-encapsulation is a promising method that can preserve eugenol from evaporating and photodegradation. This study aims to investigate the production of a controlled-release of eugenol in case… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
