An overview of essential oil-based nanoemulsion and their biological activities against some microbial pathogenic

Abstract

The essential oils are constantly increasing due to their biological activities utilization in several fields, from agricultures to pharmaceuticals. However, their extensively use are still limited due to their disreputable physico-chemical properties. Nowadays, the most appropriate to overcome such restrictions is to develop of the proper formulation strategies. One of the oncoming prompted to achieve this goal is through nanoemulsions. Nanoemulsion are heterogeneous dispersions or a colloidal particulate system in the submicron size range acting as carriers of drug molecules. Nanoemulsion is most studied in encapsulation process due to inexpensive in their manufacturing, ease of formulation and easy waste handling. In this review, intends to offer an overview of the formulation, preparation of essential oil-based nanoemulsion and their biological activities against some microbial pathogenic.
