        abstract = {Nanoemulsions are nanoscale colloidal dispersions composed of oil, water, and surfactants, characterized by droplet sizes typically ranging from 20 to 200 nm. Owing to their high kinetic stability, transparent appearance, and enhanced solubilization capacity, nanoemulsions have gained significant attention across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and industrial applications. This review provides a comprehensive overview of nanoemulsion systems, beginning with their fundamental principles and progressing to their advantages, such as improved bioavailability, controlled drug release, and enhanced stability of encapsulated compounds. Potential limitations, including formulation complexity, high surfactant requirements, and physical instability under extreme conditions, are also discussed. Different types of nanoemulsions oil-in-water, water-in-oil, and bicontinuous systems along with their key components, such as oils, surfactants, co-surfactants, and aqueous phases, are described in detail. Various preparation methods, including high-energy (ultrasonication, high-pressure homogenization) and low-energy techniques (phase inversion, spontaneous emulsification), are examined with emphasis on their mechanism and applicability. Evaluation parameters such as droplet size analysis, zeta potential, viscosity, pH, stability testing, and morphology assessment are reviewed to highlight their importance in characterizing formulation performance. Finally, the wide-ranging applications of nanoemulsions from drug delivery and wound healing to food fortification and agrochemical enhancement are summarized, underscoring their growing relevance in modern technological advancements.},
