Development of Chincho (<i>Tagetes elliptica</i> Sm.) Essential Oil Organogel Nanoparticles through Ionic Gelation and Process Optimization with Box–Behnken Design

The aim of this work was to obtain chitosan nanoparticles (<1000 nm) with chincho (<i>Tagetes elliptica</i> Sp.) essential oil (CEO-CSNPs) using the ionic gelation method. A Box–Behnken design (BBD) was applied, using chitosan solution (CS) pH (4.0, 4.4, 4.8); the mass ratio of CS/CEO...
