The aim of the present study was to develop a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) for the oral delivery of Zedoary turmeric oil (ZTO), an essential oil extracted from the dry rhizome of Curcuma zedoaria. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed to identify the efficient self-emulsification regions. ZTO could serve as a partial oil phase with the aid of the second oil phase ...

We report the results of a comparative study of microfluidic emulsification of liquids with different viscosities. Depending on the properties of the fluids and their rates of flow, emulsification occurred in the dripping and jetting regimes. We studied the characteristic features and typical dependence of the size and of the size distribution of droplets in each regime. For each liquid, we ide...

Solvent extraction/evaporation, solvent diffusion/evaporation or any modification in the basic principle of the emulsification technique produces the drug loaded sustained release micro or nanoparticles of desired properties. For understanding the basic principles of these techniques, it is essential for the development of desired objectives. Emulsification is the only step where we can disrupt...

Out of 45 actinomycetes isolated from garden soil, pond water and air; fifteen showed good emulsification activity. Streptomyces sp. S22 isolated from garden soil produced maximum bioemulsifier with 0.5% (v/v) sunflower oil during stationary phase at 37 degrees C, pH 6 and 250 rev/min. Emulsification activity was maximum (320 EU/ml) with sunflower oil as substrate. Partially purified bioemulsif...
