Studies from University of Barcelona Reveal New Findings on Pharmaceutics (Use of Natural Polymers for the Encapsulation of Eugenol by Spray Drying).

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Barcelona explores the use of natural polymers for the encapsulation of eugenol through spray drying. Eugenol is a compound found in clove essential oil and is known for its antiseptic, anaesthetic, and antioxidant properties. The researchers optimized the spray drying process and successfully prepared biodegradable stable polymeric microcapsules containing eugenol. This research provides valuable insights into the development of formulations to protect eugenol from degradation and enhance its stability. [Extracted from the article]
