Formulation and Optimization of Nanoemulsions Using the Natural Surfactant Saponin from <i>Quillaja</i> Bark

Formulation and Optimization of Nanoemulsions Using the Natural Surfactant Saponin from <i>Quillaja</i> Bark

Replacing synthetic surfactants by natural alternatives when formulating nanoemulsions has gained attention as a sustainable approach. In this context, nanoemulsions based on sweet almond oil and stabilized by saponin from <i>Quillaja</i> bark with glycerol as cosurfactant were prepared...
