The interest in the low energy self-emulsification techniques has exploded recent years, driven by three main trends: transition to "greener" technologies both its aspects - less consumption and replacement of petrochemicals natural ingredients; costly maintenance demanding equipment for nanoemulsification; quest efficient robust self-emulsifying formulations oral drug delivery. Here we first p...

Particles stabilize fluid interfaces. In particular, oil/water Pickering emulsions undergo limited coalescence, yielding droplets of smaller size as the amount particles is increased. Herein, we studied effect hydrophobic nanoparticles (<10 nm, alkyl-coated) on submicronic (ca 100 nm) formed in an Ouzo system. We investigated thoroughly water/tetrahydrofuran (THF)/butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)...

a rhamnolipid–type biosurfactant production by pseudomonas aeruginosa mm1011 was studied in a miniaturized shaken bioreactor. the operational parameters, affecting the biosurfactant production in shaken bioreactors, such as shaking frequency (200, 250, 300 rpm), filling volume (50, 75, 100 ml), and aeration rate (0.2, 0.6, 1 vvm), were optimized using response surface methodology. the optimizat...
