Encapsulation via nanotechnology offers a potential method to overcome limited thermal and photo-stability of botanical pesticides. In this study, nanospheres of essential oils (NSEO) derived from Lam. fruit were characterized and evaluated for their photostability and insecticidal activity against Three major compounds of fruits were detected by CG-MS: β-phellandrene (76.

The aim of our study was to produce and characterize poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) nanospheres containing essential oils from fruit and to evaluate their stability gains as well as their insecticidal and deterrent activities against whitefly (). The PCL nanospheres exhibited a homogeneous spherical morphology, with particle diameters between 106.7 nm and 129.
