- Abstract
De Clerck et al. firstly screened 90 commercially available essential oils for their in vitro antifungal and antibacterial activities against 10 phytopathogens that particularly attack plant crops and decrease food production yields. Plants containing essential oils have been used for centuries as spices, remedies or for their pleasant odor. As essential oil volatility may limit their applications when the release is too fast, Maes et al. studied the potential of biosourced dendrimers to encapsulate essential oils. Uses as ingredients in food products are less problematic, as only a few essential oils have restricted regulation concerns (e.g., mint essential oils).
