Nano emulsion Preparation Using High-Pressure Homogenization
What Are Nanoemulsions? Understanding Their Role in Bioactive Delivery Nanoemulsions are ultra-fine emulsions with droplet sizes between 20 and 200 nm. Their nanoscale structure gives them unique advantages for oils and active ingredients with low bioavailability. Key benefits include: Enhanced bioavailability: More efficient absorption reduces dosage and side effects Taste masking: Bitter or strong oils become easier to consume Translucent droplets: Droplets smaller than 100 nm improve product aesthetics Unlike traditional emulsions, where droplets can be up to 100 μm, nanoemulsions are colloidal dispersions of oil and surfactant that can also include stabilizers, co-emulsifiers, pH modifiers, osmotic adjusters, and antioxidants for optimal performance. Nanoemulsion Preparation Process with NanoGenizer Creating high-quality nanoemulsions requires precise control over droplet size. The process generally involves four main steps: Mixing: Combine oil and emulsifier using...
