The present invention relates to an antimicrobial, insecticidal and acaricidal system comprising functionalised support particles with at least one antimicrobial compound of natural origin. The particles are preferably selected from the group formed by silica-based inorganic materials, for example mesoporous particles of silicon oxide or particles of amorphous silicon oxide, and also cellulose particles, for example microcrystalline cellulose, while the antimicrobial compound is preferably selected from the group formed by carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde, perillaldehyde, eugenol, thymol, vanillin, gallic acid and ferulic acid. |
