Nanoemulsions: Industrial Production and Food-Grade Applications

Polymers for Agri-Food Applications

The present study was carried out to fabricate the food grade Vitamin E acetate nanoemulsion using edible mustard oil and to evaluate its improved bioactivities. A food-grade Vitamin E acetate nanoemulsion was fabricated using the edible mustard oil and surfactant Tween-80. Flocculation was not observed for 15 days. The nanoemulsion was characterized for droplet morphology and size distribution using atomic force microscope and zetasizer, respectively. We observe a stable nanoemulsion of spherical morphology and a size distribution of 86.45 ± 3.61 nm. Further, the high-performance liquid chromatography method was used to determine the Vitamin E acetate concentration and encapsulation efficiency for the stable nanoemulsion. These nanoemulsions showed improved bioactivity, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity and could be potentially used to increase the shelf life of fruit juice.

Fabrication of Food Grade Vitamin E Nanoemulsion by Low Energy Approach, Characterization and Its Application

The current study deals with the formulation and characterization of bio-based oil in water nanoemulsion and its potential antibacterial activity. A typical v/v% of eucalyptus oil (16.66%), Tween 80 (16.66%), and water (68.68%) was prepared by ultrasonication method. The mean droplet size was 17.1nm as confirmed by dynamic light scattering. Different concentrations of the formulation ranging from undiluted to 10-, 100-, and 1000-fold dilutions were used to check the antibacterial activity in three different microorganisms, namely, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive), and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative). All three species showed a 100% bactericidal at the 10-fold dilution of the nanoemulsion formulation in the following order: B. cereus at 0th min, S. aureus at 15min and E. coli at 1h, respectively. A 10-fold dilution of the nanoemulsion showed that, the cytoplasmic content leakage from the bacterial species was high for S. aureus when compared to B. cereus and E. coli as determined by UV-Vis spectroscopic method. Fluorescence microscopic technique further confirmed this study. © 2013.
