    This document summarizes a study on microencapsulation of essential oils and fragrances for perfumed and mosquito-repellent textiles. The study aims to explore using microencapsulated essential oils on textile substrates to create aromatherapy textiles and study applications for fragrance and mosquito repellent textiles. Microencapsulation is described as coating small liquid or solid particles with a polymeric film, creating microcapsules. Textiles treated with microencapsulated essential oils can provide slow-release aromatherapy and repellents. The advantages are an effective technique for controlled essential oil release, while disadvantages include higher costs than conventional methods.

    MICROENCAPSULATION OF ESSENTIAL OILS AND FRAGRANCES: STUDY

    ON PERFUMED AND MOSQUITO-REPELLENT TEXTILES

    Title: “Microencapsulation of essential oils and fragrances: Study on perfumed and mosquito-
    repellent textiles”

    Objective:

     Explore different possibilities of microencapsulated essential oil on textile substrates to


    achieve aromatherapy textiles.
     To study applications of fragrance textiles and mosquito repellent textiles.
     To study durability of perfumed textiles with series of washing cycles.

    Background:

    Microencapsulation is a process by which very tiny droplets or particles of liquid or solid material
    are surrounded or coated with a continuous film of polymeric material, yielding capsules ranging
    from less than one micron to several hundred microns in size. It is mean of applying thin coating to
    small particle of solid or droplet of liquid & dispersion. By using microencapsulation of essential
    oils in herbal products which have, fragrance and mosquito repellent capabilities can be utilize for
    made fragranced textiles and mosquito repellent textiles.

    Textiles treat with microencapsulated slow release essential oil compounds is used for
    aromatherapy. For this character it is very important to long lasting nature of slow releasing of
    active compound from microcapsule.

    Applications

    In cosmetic textiles, the major interest in microencapsulation is currently in the application of


    perfumes, mosquito repellent chemicals, essential oils, skin moisturizing agents, skin cooling
    agents, anti-aging agents etc.

    Advantages

    Microencapsulation technology is an effective technique to achieve satisfactory performance for


    aromatherapy and controlled release of essential oils is expected to be appreciated by consumers.

    The integration of aromatherapy in textile application is a unique and user-friendly idea that enables
    an alternative way for essential substance delivery systems for mosquito repellant and perfumed
    textiles.

    Disadvantages
    The technique used called microencapsulation is relatively expensive when compared to
    conventional methods. And there may be cross reaction between core material and wall material of
    microencapsules.
