Dataset of Schinus terebinthifolius essential oil microencapsulated by spray-drying.

ABSTRACT: Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi has been extensively studied due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties. Recently, its seeds have been tested against some insect pests as an insecticide, repellent and antifungal agent. Microencapsulation by spray-drying is widely used in the food and drug industries, as well as in the microencapsulation of essential oils, since it protects the oils against several effects, such as oxidation and thermal degradation, thus optimising its use. The aim was to microencapsulate S. terebinthifolius essential oil by spray-drying maltodextrin and arabic gum as encapsulating agents and SiO₂ as a colloidal adjuvant. The morphology of the microcapsules was analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which evidenced mainly r
