Preparation and Properties of Chitosan Complexes Consisting of <i>Artemisia argyi</i> Volatile Oil Nanoemulsion.

ABSTRACT: Artemisia argyi volatile oil (AAVO) is a kind of natural oil with abundant active components and remarkable medicinal and healthcare value. However, AAVO has low solubility, stability, and bioavailability. Here, to address these issues, a nanoemulsion system of Artemisia argyi volatile oil (AAVO-Ne) is constructed using phase transition titration, and the conditions are continuously optimized to combine it with chitosan, forming a chitosan composite of the volatile oil nanoemulsion (AAVO-NeCs). The structure was analyzed using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and the performance was evaluated through in vitro antibacterial tests, in vitro release experiments, and antioxidant assays. The results indicated that the typical characteristic absorption peaks of AAVO
