  • CROSSLINKED PARTICLES, COMPOSITION COMPRISING THE CROSSLINKED PARTICLES, METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURE THEREOF, AND METHOD OF TREATING AN INFECTION
    Publication number: 20230149514
    Abstract: Crosslinked particles including an essential oil and gelatin are described. At least a portion of the gelatin is crosslinked. A method of making the crosslinked particles includes emulsifying a mixture of an essential oil and an aqueous solution, and exposing the resulting particles to conditions effective to crosslink the gelatin to provide the crosslinked particles. The crosslinked particles and compositions including the crosslinked particles can be particularly useful in the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections.
    Type: Application
