摘要

Cinnamomum camphora chvar. Borneol essential oil (CBEO), a potential antibacterial ingredient, faces challenges in widespread use for food preservation due to its high volatility and low stability. This study aimed to enhance the stability and release properties of CBEO by preparing CBEO/β-cyclodextrin microcapsules. The ultrasound-assisted complexation (UACP) method has been developed to fabricate microcapsules containing CBEO, with β-cyclodextrin used as the wall material. The UACP process was optimized using the Box–Behnken response surface methodology. Under optimal conditions—a wall–core ratio of 4.09, ultrasound time of 52 min, ultrasound power of 617 W, and embedding temperature of 32 °C—the maximum microcapsule yield (84.93 ± 2.21%) and encapsulation efficiency (60.20 ± 1.56%) were achieved. Analysis through scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, particle size distribution analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction revealed the effective encapsulation of CBEO by UACP method. Furthermore, CBEO microcapsules exhibited favorable thermal stability and a slow-release effect. This study presents a promising approach to microencapsulation technology for the preparation of plant essential oil microcapsules.
