Essential Oils and Nanotechnology for Treatment of Microbial Diseases (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Rai, Mahendra; Derita, Marcos; Zacchino, Susana

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The search of new effective antimicrobial agents is a high priority. Essential oils have promising antimicrobial activities, but due to their hydrophobic nature and volatility, their uses are severely limited. This book aims to review the advances on nanoencapsulation of essential oils and the improvements in their antimicrobial activities.
