4 Citronella Gel Air Freshener

Product Information

The repellent activity of each was measured by evaluating the protection period against the bites of Aedes aegypti within one hour. The result identified geraniol as the component with the highest activity ( up to ). The repellency estimated within a 60-minute period was for geraniol, for citronellol, and for citronellal. Despite the fact that statistical analysis showed no significant difference between citronellol and geraniol, the repellency of the latter substantially varied from the other two components, although all three reduced in effectivity over time as a result of their volatility. This result corresponds with previous reports that also demonstrate a decline in the rate of repellency for citronella oil [ 11, 14]; hence, the current study focuses on the production of an air freshener gel, as a strategy to control component release, decrease evaporation rate, and prolong the effects [ 15]. These gels possibly dampen the bad smells inside a room, causing an elevated feeling of comfort. Air freshener gel, which acts as mosquito repellent is still rarely found on the market. Air freshener gel product with carrageenan was found in US patent number 9.352.060 B2. In this patent, the air freshener formulation has a composition of perfume oils, dibutyl lauroyl glutamide, polyethylene glycol 1000, and carrageenan gel. Hence, in this study, we used carrageenan along with other materials to control the release of Java citronella oil’s major compounds [ 16]. 3.2.

From the -square data, the citronellal, citronellol, and geraniol content in formula I was shown to have released steadily, in contrast with the others. Furthermore, geraniol and citronellol demonstrate a steady release with and 0.9323, respectively, as well as the longest shelf life, at 16.82 and 12.77 days, respectively. Conversely, formula II demonstrated the best-controlled release action with the evaporation of citronellal, at an -square value of 0.9993, while formula III had the best storage time of 22.40 days with citronellal. 3.3. Physicochemical Properties and Syneresis Rate of Air Freshener Gel

Though it may require more frequent application than chemical-based repellents, it's a great way to protect yourself without exposing yourself to toxins. How to use Citronella essential oil? Safety Precautions: Made for ages 12 and up. Essential oil roll-ons come ready-made at a four to five percent dilution in an organic fractionated coconut oil base.Syneresis is regarded as an instability phenomenon and also described as the “spontaneous contraction of a gel, accompanied by the expulsion of liquid from the pores” [ 21]. This has been reported in some protein and polysaccharide gels, including carrageenan [ 22]. In addition, formula IV 5°C exhibited the highest syneresis and pH of 75.34% in 72h and 7.35, respectively, suggesting the prominent instability under low temperatures. Furthermore, the highest and most significantly different pH was attained in formula IV, while formula I exhibited a comparably higher instability at 35°C, with a syneresis of 77.11% in 72h, with a pH value of 5.47. However, formula VI showed the least rate amongst all, at 5°C and 35°C.
