“By adding small amounts of oil and using a 100 mM phosphate buffer, we achieved … that is stable at room temperature and has a physiological osmotic pressure and pH. When clove oil was used as an … formation temperature of GZ solution decreased appreciably compared to … solution without clove oil.”
“SEM of cross sections of GZ gels revealed an irregular structure in gels prepared with clove oil , indicating that clove oil prevented the formation of the intermolecular GZ networks typically characterized by gels derived from pure GZ solutions.”
