Researchers at The University of Queensland have developed a food-grade nanoemulsion with high solubilising potential that is stable and flexible. In the laboratory, the UQ-developed nanoemulsions used an entire food-acceptable medium; could be successfully stored at -80°C for one year; could be diluted with water; could be successfully applied to biological systems; and had an uptake 4x higher than the aqueous control. These nanoemulsions could be used in food, cosmetics, nutrition, and pharmaceutical and nutraceutical fields. Results suggest that these nanoemulsions could act as universal solvent for phytochemicals.
