Abstract: β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) was used as the wall material for preparing clove oil microcapsule, and the slow-released antibacterial properties of the inclusion complex were tested. The results showed that the embedding rate was 21.79%. The antibacterial rate of newly prepared microcapsules did not reveal an obvious difference from that of the microcapsules subjected to more than one-month storage. Therefore, clove essential oil inclusion complex has slow-released antibacterial properties.

Key words: clove oil, β-cyclodextrin, microcapsule, slow-released antibacterial properties
