Abstract:

 Electrospinning method used in nanofiber production is an economical method applied with high voltage electricity.Essential oils obtained from natural sources have antioxidant, antimicrobial and antifungal properties and are preferred in the production of nanomaterials by electro-spinning method. In this study, tangerine peel citrus unshiu essential oil TPEO was obtained by hydro-distillation method. The major one of the 10 components of the extract detected by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry GS-MS was D-Limonene 77.45. The composite nanofiber was prepared with 25 TPEO and polylactic acid PLA. Nanofibers were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy SEM and Thermogravimetric Analysis TGA. According to the SEM results, it is seen that the essential oil is composited with prominent spheroidal structures in PLA nanofiber structure, and nanofiber diameter obtained is approximately 76.8 nm. Its decomposition temperature is about 320C. Nanofibers obtained from tangerine peels and their antibacterial properties, can be recommended use for food preservation and medicine fields.
