Abstract
Vegetable oils are natural products that are in liquid form, volatile, and aromatic, extracted from different parts of plants. In the Amazon region, vegetable oils are traded and sold by the community to increase their family income. Polymeric nanocapsules are nanoparticles composed of an encapsulating agent (biodegradable polymers) such as polycaprolactone, poly(methyl methacrylate), and creatine, which enclose lipophilic substances (active core). The main technological characteristics of these nanostructured systems are the controlled release of active ingredients, biodisponibility, and chemical and physical stability. In this study, nanocapsules containing copaiba and andiroba vegetable oils, as well as their mixtures, were synthesized. The nanocapsules showed particle sizes, Zeta potentials, and polydispersity indices (PDI) ranging from 117 to 218 nm, 28.5 to 35 mV, and 0.130 to 0.251, respectively. The 30/70 ratio (Copaiba/Andiroba) exhibited the most stable mixture among them.
