Orange oil microcapsule as well as preparation method and application thereof

The invention discloses an orange oil microcapsule. The microcapsule is prepared from the following components in percentage by weight: 0.5-8 percent of orange oil, 0.5-10 percent of a wall material, 0.1-5 percent of an emulsifier and the balance of water. The invention further discloses a method for preparing the orange oil microcapsule. According to the method, orange oil is used as a core material to prepare the orange oil microcapsule by adopting an orifice-coagulating bath method through emulsifying, homogenizing and drying. The invention further discloses an application of the orange oil microcapsule in skin-care cream. Volatilization loss of active ingredients of the orange oil can be effectively inhibited by means of micro-capsulation, so that the effect of the orange oil can be furthest played, and the stability of the orange oil can be improved; compared with preparation methods in the prior art, the preparation method has the characteristics that the operation is simple, organic solvent is not used, the mechanical strength of the prepared capsule is high without high-speed stirring, the capsule has small diameter and the like.
