Production of Nanoemulsions at Relevant Industrial Rates: Innovative Scale-up Strategies

Panagiotou T., Fisher R.J., Delphi Scientific, LLC, US

Nanoemulsions find applications across industries, with several pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications in the market. Delphi Scientific, LLC has developed a methodology to improve large scale nanoemulsion manufacturing by addressing key issues such as high energy [...]

Development of curcuminoids oil nanoemulsions produced by high-energy methods: Microfluidization vs ultrasonication.

Espinosa-Andrews H., Paez-Hernandez G., CIATEJ, AC, MX

Turmeric curcuminoids are phytopolylphenol pigments of Curcuma longa root used in foods due to their yellow-orange bright shades and to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities. They are highly sensitive to pH, [...]

Studying the Microalgae Growth and Stable Nanoemulsion Production Systems for Environmental Mitigations

Chinni G., Subeshan B., Rahman M.M., Asmatulu R., Wichita State University, US

Recently, environmental concerns have been rising in the world because of the greenhouse gasses, such as CO2, N2O, CH4, and fluorinated gases and industrial products, which in turn cause irreversible climate changes. Algal oils are [...]

Nanoemulsion with tuneable lipid shell dedicated to targeted delivery of small and biomacro- molecules

Couffin A.C., Bruniaux J., Courant T., Hoang A., Martin C., Fournier A., Mittler F., Texier I., Sulpice E., Auzély-Velty R., Gidrol X., Navarro F., Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives, FR

Lipid nanocarriers are considered as suitable carriers to formulate lipophilic drugs, transport them and also deliver more specifically at appropriate biological sites. Based on oil-in-water template emulsion, we have been developing nanodroplets as drug or [...]

Nanoemulsion Formation and characterization of Neutraceutical Components with the Sonication and Self-Assembly Methods

Choi A.J., Park C.B., Park C.G., Park C.B., Park C.G., Han S.H., Rural Development Administration, KR

In this research, we investigated the optimum condition for the preparation of O/W nanoemulsion containing surfactants, neutraceutical ingredients extracted from Angelica gigas Nakai and oil phase in ternary phase diagrams of systems, and characterized the [...]

Nanoemulsion Formulations for Improved Oral Delivery of Poorly Soluble Drugs

Tiwari S.B., Shenoy D.B., Amiji M.M., Norheastern University, US

Purpose: To develop nanoemulsion formulations to enhance oral bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs. Paclitaxel was selected as a model hydrophobic drug. Methods: The oil-in-water (o/w) nanoemulsions were made with pine nut oil as the internal oil [...]

Structural Characterization of Novel Micro- And Nano-Scale Non-Viral DNA Delivery Systems for Cutaneous Gene Therapy

Foldvari M., Badea I., Wettig S., Verrall R., Bagonluri M., University of Saskatchewan, CA

Our main goal is to develop micro/nano-scale self-assembling delivery vehicles for cutaneous gene therapy. The objective of this study was to characterize the structural and physicochemical properties of novel dicationic lipid-based DNA complexes by atomic [...]
