Article Synopsis
- - Polysorbates, specifically Tween 60 and Tween 80, are commonly used to encapsulate essential oils like R-(+)-limonene (LMN) in microemulsions, which were examined for their structural and antimicrobial properties.
- - The study utilized pseudoternary phase diagrams to create and characterize these microemulsions, revealing that they maintained spherical shapes and showed a decrease in size during dilution, while also demonstrating similar phase transitions for the two polysorbate types.
- - The microemulsions displayed enhanced antimicrobial activity against bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with Tween 60 proving more effective against S. aure
