Abstract

In this study, poly ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone(PCL) microcapsules containing lemongrass oil was prepared by the solvent evaporation method. Effects of concentrations of PCL and poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) as well as stirring speeds when preparing microcapsules were investigated. Specific peaks of lemongrass oil in PCL microcapsules at 1600 and $2900cm^{-1}$ were observed by FT-IR. The particle size and shape of microcapsules were also measured by polarizing microscope and optical microscopy. The average particle size of microcapsules decreased with increasing the stirring rate. At the stirring speed of 1500 rpm, and 1 wt% of each PCL and PVA concentrations, the smallest particles were formed. Collection efficiencies of lemongrass oil of 77.5% and 69.5% were obtained when 1.5 wt% of PCL and 2 wt% of PVA were used, respectively. In addition, the release behavior and antioxidant activity of lemongrass oil from PCL microcapsules were examined using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. When 0.5 wt% PCL and 2.0 wt% PVA were used with the slow stirring rate, microcapsules showed a fast release rate. The characteristics of antioxidant activity exhibited similar to that of the release behavior.

본 실험은 액중건조법을 이용해 레몬그라스 오일이 함유된 PCL마이크로캡슐을 제조하였고 교반속도와 PCL, PVA의 농도 변화에 따른 마이크로캡슐의 특성을 조사하였다. PCL마이크로캡슐에 레몬그라스 오일의 함입은 FT-IR 분석에 의해 $1600cm^{-1}$과 $2900cm^{-1}$에서 특정 피크를 측정하였다. 마이크로캡슐의 크기와 형태는 광학현미경과 편광현미경을 이용하여 관찰하였고 마이크로캡슐의 평균 입자크기가 교반속도가 증가함에 따라 작아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 교반속도(1500 rpm), PCL (1 wt%)과 PVA (1 wt%)의 농도로 제조하였을 때 가장 작은 입자가 형성됨을 확인하였고 PCL의 농도가 1.5 wt%일 때 레몬그라스의 포집효율이 77.5%이었고 PVA의 농도가 2 wt%일 때 포집효율이 69.8%이었다. UV-Vis 흡광광도법으로 방출 거동과 항산화 활성을 관찰하였다. 교반속도가 느리고 PCL의 농도가 0.5 wt%, PVA의 농도가 2.0 wt%일 때 방출속도가 빠르다는 것을 확인하였다. 항산화 활성은 방출거동과 유사한 특성을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.
