Microencapsulates were analysed for morphology and structure, releasing ability of entrapped EO, as evaluated by diffusion coefficient (D) and bioactivity.engoreganoessential oilencapsulationin-vitro bioactivityThe effect of the matrix system in the delivery and in-vitro bioactivity of microencapsulated oregano essential oilconference object
