“…High energy technologies such as homogenizer, microfluidizer, or sonicator are used to form small droplets from two immiscible oil and water phase. While, the low energy relies on the spontaneous formation of oil droplets, which is achieved by varying emulsifying variables such as surfactant and oil concentration and temperature [4]. Microencapsulation can improve the retention time of nutrients in food and allow controlled release over a specific period [5].…”

Incorporation of vitamins into food, feed, and personal care is realised through microencapsulation of their nanoparticle in powder form. Vitamin E consisting of α-, β-, γ-, and δ-tocopherols and α-, β-, γ-, and δ-tocotrienols, is a powerful antioxidant that has been used in food applications and supplements. However, due to its fat-soluble characteristic, the application of tocotrienol in food and beverages is still limited. Therefore, microencapsulation of tocotrienol via emulsification could help maximise the dissolution of tocotrienols during processing and prolong the product’s shelf lives. In this study, factors affecting the particle size, including surfactant concentration, stirring time and speed, and mixing temperature for the preparation of tocotrienol emulsion, were investigated. Emulsions were prepared using 12 wt% surfactant concentration, 800 rpm stirring for 30 minutes. Emulsions with 190 nm particle size were found stable after 30 days storage at ambient temperature.

: Recent trends in research and investigation on nanoemulsion based products is the result of many reasons such as food security as a global concern, increasing demand for highly efficient food and agricultural products and technological need for products with the ability of manipulation and optimization in their properties. Nanoemulsions are defined as emulsions made up of nano sized droplets dispersed in another immiscible liquid which exhibit properties distinguishing them from conventional emulsions and making them suitable for encapsulation, delivery and formulations of bioactive ingredients in different fields including drugs, food and agriculture. The objective of this paper is to present a general overview of nanoemulsions definition, their preparation methods, properties and applications in food and agricultural sectors. Due to physicochemical properties of the nanoemulsion composition, creating nanosized droplets requires high/low energy methods that can be supplied by special devices or techniques. An overview about the mechanisms of these methods is also presented in this paper which are commonly used to prepare nanoemulsions. Finally, some recent works about the application of nanoemulsions in food and agricultural sectors along with challenges and legislations restricting their applications is discussed in the last sections of the current study.
