Being highly hydrophobic, essential oils should easily be entrapped inside the phospholipid membrane. Have you ever encountered any references about this?
We have recently published our work on liposomal & nanoliposomal entrapment of PUFA's as hydrophobic agents (see attached article). We have added these agents to the liposomal ingredients before their formation. However, your question implies that you are interested in the entrapment of lipophilic compounds to the pre-formed vesicle; is that right?
