Nanoemulsion: A review on formulation and application

  • Abstract:
  • This review provides a thorough overview of a nanoemulsion technology. The purpose of nanoemulsions is to enhance the delivery of active medicinal substances by creating emulsions at the nanoscale. These are thermodynamically stable isotropic systems where an emulsifying agent, like a surfactant or co-surfactant, is used to mix two immiscible liquids into a single phase. The nanoemulsion's droplet size decreases [1]. Nanoemulsions are thermodynamically stable isotropic systems in which two immiscible liquids (oil and water) are combined to create a single phase using a suitable surfactant or combination of surfactants with droplet diameters roughly between 0.5 and 100 ums. Nanoemulsion droplets have narrow size distributions and are often between 20 and 200 nm in size. This study has covered a number of topics related to nanoemulsion, such as its benefits, drawbacks, and preparation techniques. In order to increase the stability of nanoemulsion formulation, novel techniques for formulation stability, the impact of surfactant kinds and concentrations, process factors, and methodology are also covered.
