In this contribution, supercritical CO2-assisted impregnation of LDPE/sepiolite nanocomposite films with two insecticidal terpene ketones (thymoquinone and R-(+)-pulegone) is investigated, as a strategy to enhance the ...

In this work, low density polyethylene (LDPE) films were loaded by scCO2-assisted impregnation with R-(−)-carvone, the main component of M. spicata and A. polystachya essential oils with antimicrobial and insecticidal ...

Supercritical CO2-assisted impregnation was applied to incorporate eugenol into polyamide fibers in order to develop a solvent-free material with antimicrobial properties to be potentially applied as dental floss. Impregnation ...

The aim of this contribution was to obtain bioactive materials for stored grain protection and food preservation, by incorporating a biopesticide (1-octen-3-ol) in polyethylene (LDPE) films using supercritical CO2–assisted ...

In this work, mass transfer kinetics of CO2 and eugenol into polyamide 6 (PA6) fibers under supercritical conditions were investigated in the context of the development of a functional dental floss for dental care applications ...

Microencapsulation of chia oil in soy protein microparticles was achieved using supercritical CO2-assisted impregnation, an alternative green technology. The effect of the process variables on retention and encapsulation ...

Terpene ketones are botanical compounds involved in natural defense mechanisms of numerous plant species, making part of a group of substances that play an important role protecting the plant from pest attack, with specific ...

Eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol) is a naturally occurring phenol present in many botanical extracts, such as clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg essential oils. The beneficial properties of this compound have been extensively ...

The use of active natural compounds derived from plants appears as an interesting alternative for pest control in stored products. In this study, the fumigant toxicity of several terpene ketones against maize weevil ...
