چکیده :

Foeniculum vulgare Mill essential oil provides a wide range of biological activities due to its bioactive compounds.1 This essential oil, like other essential oils, has a low solubility in water and easily evaporates or is destroyed by direct exposure to heat and light.2 Therefore, it is necessary to use preservation techniques such as nanoencapsulation to prevent degradation.3 In this study, Foeniculum vulgare Mill essential oil was loaded into Alyssum homolocarpum gel and detected using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The antimicrobial activity of Alyssum homolocarpum gel loaded with Foeniculum vulgare Mill essential oil was evaluated against some microorganism. According to the obtained results, this nano gel showed good activity in inhibiting the growth and killing of these Microorganisms. These findings show the potential applications of Alyssum homolocarpum gel containing Foeniculum vulgare Mill essential oil as a natural antimicrobial agent in pharmaceutical and food industries.
