Abstract
  • The samples that were analysed using FTIR and XRD are reviewed in this study. Genuine commercial essential oils as well as essential oils mixed with nanoparticles were employed. According to FTIR studies, commercial essential oils only comprise 20% true essential oil and are mixed with impurities. Aside from that, each essential oil contains molecules such as C=C, C=O, and –OH. The creation of an inclusion complex between thymus essential oil (TEO) and nanoparticles (NS) components was revealed by XRD analysis. GEO composite sheets including PVA/GA/CS were found to be potential wound dressing and food packaging solutions.
