Optimization of headspace solid-phase microextraction for analysis of β-caryophyllene in a nanoemulsion dosage form prepared with copaiba ( Copaifera multijuga Hayne) oil
Abstract(#br)Recent studies have shown the anti-inflammatory activity of Copaiba oils may be addressed to the high content of β-caryophyllene, the most common sesquiterpene detected, especially in the Copaifera multijuga Hayne species. In the present study, nanoemulsions were proposed as a delivery system for copaiba oil in view to treat locally inflamed skin. This article describes the optimization and validation of a stability-indicating SPME-GC method, for β-caryophyllene analysis in the nanoemulsions produced by high pressure homogenization.
