Summary
The novel "cold-burst process" uses simple cooling/heating cycles to create nanoemulsions from natural oils like coconut oil. This method avoids high energy and complex equipment for nanoemulsion preparation.
Area of Science:
- Colloid and Surface Science
- Materials Science
- Physical Chemistry
Background:
- Traditional nanoemulsion preparation requires high energy and specialized equipment.
- Lipid phase transitions (α-to-β) can induce spontaneous microparticle disintegration into nanoparticles.
- Previous work demonstrated this phenomenon with model lipid systems.
