Application


  • Cedar Oil in Hydrogel Composite Development: Cedar essential oil was integrated into polyvinyl alcohol/cedar oil/kaolin composite hydrogels to enhance hemostatic, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. This application underscores its potential in biomedical material engineering, particularly in wound management products (Tamer et al., 2022).

  • Food Packaging Applications: Cedar oil was utilized in the development of bioactive polypropylene films, demonstrating its efficacy as a natural preservative in food packaging. This aligns with the needs of the food industry to extend product shelf life while using sustainable, non-toxic materials (Antosik et al., 2021).

  • Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities: The characterization of cedarwood essential oil emulsions revealed significant antioxidant and antibacterial activities, suggesting its applicability in food safety and preservation sectors. This application highlights the oil′s dual functionality, which can be leveraged in various industrial manufacturing processes (Huang et al., 2021).

  • Larvicidal Performance Enhancements: Cedarwood essential oil was effectively used in pectin-cedarwood essential oil nanocapsules, which were impregnated onto cotton bags to improve larvicidal performances against mosquito larvae. This indicates its potential use in public health applications for vector control (Kala et al., 2020).
