Lemongrass essential oil nanoemulsion formulations based on tragacanth gum and guar gum as durable anti-mosquito fabric finishing agents by Abdullah, Nurul Nabila Aini, Kamari, Azlan, Wong, Siew Tin Susana, Yusof, Norjan, Othman, Hidayatulfathi, Hussein, Mohd Zobir, Hargreaves, Justin S. J.

“…Based on correlation coefficient (R2) values for tragacanth gum (0.9832) and cationic guar gum (0.9761)-based nanoemulsions, the release of lemongrass essential oil from nanoemulsions followed the Korsmeyer–Peppas kinetic model. Following five cycles of washing and heating, the retention of tragacanth gum-based nanoemulsion on cotton and polyester was determined as 62% and 46%, respectively. …”
