Abstract

Essential oil is a component that can be obtained from plants and animals that have various biological activities such as antibacterial activity for various diseases. Some antibacterial activities come from the unsaturated fatty acid content of essential oils. However, due to the various limitations possessed by essential oils such as volatile, unstable to heat and light, and quickly evaporated, therefore encapsulation of essential oil using a polymer as the wall material can maintain the stability of oils. This review focuses on the encapsulation of oils, lipids, and fatty acids.
