Nanoencapsulation

Nanoencapsulation techniques using nanoemulsions, liposomes and polymers are primarily used in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical/food and cosmetic industries.

Nanoencapsulation in food, drug and other applications enables companies to achieve:

Nanoemulsions:

Fish oil contains Omega-3 fatty acid, an essential nutrient. Encapsulating the fish oil using a nanoemulsion substantially reduces its undesirable taste and protects the oil from oxidation.

Liposomes:

In the example below, 0.1% plasmid DNA is encapsulated inside a Palmitoyl oleoyl phophatidyl choline liposome. DNA remains.

Polymers:

Microfluidizer^® technology is ideally suited for applications requiring highly efficient polymer encapsulation.
