Article Synopsis
- This study explored the controlled-release potential of 2-heptanone, a promising natural pesticide, when incorporated into different lipid formulations.
- The release rate of 2-heptanone varied significantly over time, being faster in the first week and slowing down afterward, with paraffin lipid films showing the best retention.
- The compatibility of solid lipid particles (SLPs) with the film matrix influenced release rates, as they increased release in paraffin films but decreased it in Acetem films by making the latter more firm.
