“…Overall, the nanoprecipitation or solvent displacement method is widely used to develop pNPs for plants oils encapsulation. According to the Table 1, the polymers commonly used to design the polymeric matrix are synthetic polyesters like poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (Esfandyari-Manesh et al, 2013;Iannitelli et al, 2011;Sousa et al, 2013), poly (εcaprolactone) (Badri et al, 2018;Christofoli et al, 2015;Ephrem et al, 2014;Jummes et al, 2020;Khoobdel et al, 2017), polylactide (Liakos et al, 2016), Eudragit ® L100 (Averina and Allémann, 2013), S100 (Averina and Allémann, 2013), L100-55 (Pina-Barrera et al, 2019) and RS100 Froiio et al, 2019). Synthetic polymers are more used than natural ones like chitosan (Luque-Alcaraz et al, 2016;Sotelo-Boyás et al, 2015 and cellulose derivatives (Liakos et al, 2018;Marchiori et al, 2017) because they have higher purity and better reproducibility.…”
