What is it about?
The paper focuses on encapsulating Bergamot essential oil (BEO) in β-cyclodextrin (BCD) to overcome its limitations such as volatility and degradation. The encapsulation was achieved using an ultrasound-assisted co-precipitation method optimized with response surface methodology (RSM).
