Abstract
⺠Lippia sidoides essential oil was successfully encapsulated in a cashew gum/chitosan polymeric matrix. ⺠Nanoparticle sizes ranged from 335 nm to 558 nm, mainly with unimodal distribution and positive potential zeta values. ⺠Oil presence in nanoparticles was corroborated by FTIR and bioassays. ⺠Nanoparticles were effective in killing larvae of dengue vector, in a sustained release fashion.
