| 3 | Candelilla Wax as Natural Slow-Release Matrix for Fertilizers Encapsulated by Spray Chilling显示文摘Efforts to improve crop yields with efficient use of fertilizers are needed to guarantee global food security.Enhanced slow-release fertilizer systems(SRFs)encapsulated in biodegradable matrices are being developed to address this global concern.From a wide range of strategies for SRFs development,we explored a natureinspired solution based on the plant cuticle model and its function as a membrane for water and nutrient transport control.Here,Candelilla wax,extracted from Candelilla wild plants(Euphorbia antisyphilitica),is studied as a renewable slow-release matrix for fertilizers encapsulated by a modified spray chilling process.From this process,microencapsulates containing 40 wt%of phosphorus fertilizer are obtained with distinctive sizes and chemical characteristics,presenting a slow-release behavior.Considering the abovementioned features,novel insights into fertilizer release mechanisms based on plant cuticle models are discussed. | Noe Navarro-Guajardo Edgar Miguel Garcia-Carrillo Carlos Espinoza-Gonzalez Ruben Tellez-Zablah Fatima Davila-Hernandez Jorge Romero-Garcia Antonio Ledezma-Perez Jesus Alfonso Mercado-Silva Claudia Anahi Perez Torres Nicolaza Pariona | 2018 | Journal of Renewable Materials2018，6，3： | 1 |
