        abstract = {The scientific and industrial world has paid increasing attention to Bigels as a structured multiphase gel system because these solutions unite hydrogel and organoogel characteristics. A biphasic gel system consists of interweaving incompatible gel networks that produce long-lasting structures that provide enhanced strength together with controlled delivery functions and improved biocompatibility. Advanced drug delivery systems with cosmetic formulations and wound healing scaffolds and food emulsions become possible through the beneficial interaction of water-based and oil-based phases. The rheological and physicochemical properties of bigels become highly flexible through composition modification and selection of structuring agents along with gelation methods. These two-phase materials possess an advantage for sustained-release technology because they contain both water-soluble and oil-soluble agents thus serving as excellent pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulation vehicles. Their adhesive property towards skin helps bigels show great potential as drug delivery methods through the skin surface. Bigels demonstrate significance in tissue engineering among recent analyses that shows their biocompatible nature helps cells proliferate and differentiate through tunable properties. Bigels will transform numerous market sectors due to ongoing developments in material science and nanotechnology thus creating progressive solutions for pharmaceuticals, biomedicine and industrial industries.},
