<p>The invention describes a process in which ß-triketones are extracted from essential oils. The essential oil is fractionated into its component parts such that any one of the component parts may be further used. The component parts may be modified with chitosan, or its tertiary amino or quaternary amino derivatives to form salts. These salts may find a number of uses. One such use may, for example, be in the delivery of antimicrobial activity.</p> |
