| Summary: | Fragrance is a commonly used substance in a number of commercial products, and fine control over the release behavior of the fragrance is essential for its successful application. Understanding the release behavior of the fragrance is the key to realizing the control of its release. Herein, we use tobacco leaf as the model substrate and investigate the mechanism of eugenol release from tobacco leaf. Our results show that interaction between eugenol and tobacco leaf is weak physical adsorption, and the eugenol release from tobacco leaf substrate is a temperature-dependent process. Further analysis on the release behavior reveals that eugenol release is closely associated with the morphology change of tobacco leaves under heating conditions. Our results provide insight into the release mechanism of fragrance from polymer substrate and may be useful for the future design of fragrance release systems. |
