Abstract: A nanoemulsion is a homogeneous dispersant formed spontaneously from two mutually immiscible
solutions in the presence of surfactants, co-surfactants, etc. It can improve some shortcomings of its lower
stability, solubility, and bioavailability due to the active substances by its own structure; more and more are
used in food and pharmaceutical industries to improve product stability, utilization, shelf life and functional
performance. This paper reviews the main components of nanoemulsions and describes in detail the standard
methods of preparing nanoemulsions and their progress in the food field, with a view to providing references for
their further application and process.....
