Lavandin (Lavandula hybrida) essential oil contains components with biocide properties that can be used as substitutes of synthetic drugs in livestock. This application requires an appropriate formulation of the essential oil. In this work, supercritical impregnation of lavandin oil has been proposed as a possible formulation process, due to the high solubility of lavandin essential oil in supercritical carbon dioxide. The polymer used in this work as carrier material was starch modified with the n-octenil succinate (OSA) group, in the form of powder with a particle size of 30 μm. The effects of operational pressure (10–12 MPa), temperature (313–323 K) and lavandin oil to starch mass ratio (0.2–1) were studied. Impregnation loads ranging from 25 to 150 mg lavandin oil/g OSA-starch were obtained. The distribution coefficient of essential oil between the starch and the supercritical phase as well as the essential oil load depended on the density of CO₂.
