Herbicide and Cytogenotoxic Activity of Inclusion Complexes of Psidium gaudichaudianum Leaf Essential Oil and β-Caryophyllene on 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin.

Scientists developed inclusion complexes (ICs) from essential oil (EO) and -caryophyllene (-CAR), which showed significant herbicidal effects on weed species. ICs also protected EO and -CAR from degradation and increased their stability, making them potential candidates for commercial exploration.
