【 摘 要 】

The objective of this study was to provide insights into the mechanisms involved in the mass transport of antimicrobial compounds from essential oil nanoemulsions to bacterial cell membranes. Origanum oil-in-water nanoemulsions were produced using spontaneous emulsification by titrating a mixture of essential oil, ripening inhibitor, and surfactant (Tween 80) into 5 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 3.5). Stable nanoemulsions containing relatively small droplets (d < 60 nm) were produced using this low-energy method. The nature of the ripening inhibitor used in the oil phase of the nanoemulsions affected the antimicrobial activity of the nanoemulsions: corn (LCT) > medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). Differences in antimicrobial activity were attributed to the differences in the rate of transfer of hydrophobic antimicrobial constituents from the nanoemulsion to the MCT emulsion, which was used to mimic the hydrophobic region of the bacterial cell membranes. Each antimicrobial nanoemulsion was separated from the MCT emulsion by a dialysis tubing. Dialysis tubing with two different pore sizes was used, one excluding nanoemulsion droplet and micelle delivery, allowing the delivery of antimicrobial compounds only through the aqueous phase and the other by both the aqueous phase and micelles. For origanum oil nanoemulsions, the delivery of all antimicrobial agents occurred more efficiently when micelles were present. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
