Abstract

Essential oils (EOs) can be volatilized and oxidized very quickly. The characteristics are impediments to apply EOs to various fields, despite their many beneficial effects. Here, we report on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) for continuous diffusion of lavender EO (LEO). LEO could be loaded efficiently into the MSNs by hydrophobic interaction. The amount of residual LEO was measured over two weeks without closing by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Loading efficiency of LEO into the MSNs was 16.7% of total feed. Free LEO was volatilized by approximately 87%, whereas 48% of the LEO in the MSNs remained still after 16 days. In this study, the LEO loaded successfully into the core of the MSNs was continuously diffused out to air for a longer time. Our results indicate that the MSN is a useful formulation for encapsulation and continuous diffusion of EOs.


에센션 오일은 다양한 생리활성을 가지고 있지만 쉽게 휘발되고 산화되는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 메조다공성 실리카 나노입자를 이용한 에센셜 오일의 휘발 지연과 지속적인 발향을 평가하였다. 제조한 나노입자의 메조다공성 구조는 라벤더 에센셜 오일을 효과적으로 담지할 수 있었다. 메조다공성 실리카 나노입자로부터 휘발되는 오일의 양은 GC-MS를 이용하여 2주 동안 평가하였다. 라벤더 에센셜 오일은 16일 동안 전체의 87%가 휘발된 반면 메조다공성 실리카나노입자 내 에센셜 오일은 느린 속도로 휘발되었고 48% 남아 있었다. 이러한 결과는 실리카 나노입자의 메조다공성 코어 구조가 에센셜 오일을 담지하고 휘발을 지연시키며 발향을 지속적으로 할 수 있게 한다는 것을 보여준다. 그러므로 메조다공성 실리카 나노입자는 에센셜 오일을 캡슐화하고 다양한 분야에 응용되는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있다.
