Abstract

Over the years, the interest in nanotechnology and its applications has been increasing, providing numerous benefits to the industries. One such nanotechnology application being used in a majority of industries is the incorporation of nanoemulsion (NE) and microemulsion (ME) in industrial products which act as a carrier/delivery system for some of the active compounds in the product. The incorporation of such emulsion systems helps increase the bioavailability, stability, and interactions of the active compounds in the product. One of the commonly used active components in NE and ME are essential oils (EO)that have a wide range of biological properties used in several fields such as food, pharmaceutical, agriculture, etc. This review intends to provide details on the formulation, stability, and components for the preparation of nanoemulsion and microemulsion. It also deals with understanding the benefits of the incorporation of essential oils into NE/ME.
