Polylactide-based thyme oil microcapsules production: evaluation of surfactants

The objective of this work is to prepare microcapsules of polylactide-containing thyme oil by coacervation using a variety of nonionic surfactants with different hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values and evaluate the encapsulation efficiency of polar and apolar compounds of oil. Thus, Tween 20...
