Özet

The purpose of the present work was to develop and characterize some spongious matrices based on collagen and essential oils, uncross-linked and cross-linked with glutaraldehyde, obtained by lyophilization. The active components from the obtained matrices were thymbra, lavender and oregano essential oils. The components of studied essential oils were identified by GC-MS. The prepared sponges were analyzed by swelling ability, enzymatic degradation and thermal analyses. The results of this work indicated that the properties of collagen-essential oils depend on the composition of essential oils, the most stable matrix being the collagen-lavender oil one. This property allows its uses as long-term wound dressing in infected skin damages.
