Abstract

This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the electrospinning process involving polymer solutions incorporating essential oils (EOs). Different electrospinning methods, as a versatile and efficient technique for producing nanofibers and different EOs, are discussed. It explores various electrospinning techniques to produce nanofibers containing EO. Furthermore, it reviews the applications of EO-incorporated electrospun nanofibers in biomedical fields, food packaging, and cosmetics. The review also highlights the types of polymers employed in conjunction with EOs and identifies commonly used essential oils. Additionally, it discusses the encapsulation of EOs and the role of supporting materials in the electrospinning process. While the findings from laboratory research are promising, translating these results into commercial applications requires time and strategic engineering efforts to address potential challenges across various sectors.
