Development and Evaluation of Nanoemulsifying Preconcentrate of Curcumin for Colon Delivery by Jyoti Wadhwa, Abhay Asthana, Gyati Shilakari, Arun Kumar Chopra, Ranjit Singh

“…Content of formulation variables, namely, X1 (Peceol), X2 (Cremophor-EL), and X3 (Transcutol HP), were optimized by Box-Behnken design of experiments for its impact on mean globule size (Y1), emulsification time (Y2), and time required for drug release (85%) in phosphate buffer (pH 7.2), t85% (Y3). Transmission electron micrographs confirmed that there is no coalescence among globules, with size range concordant with the globule size analysis by dynamic light scattering technique (100 nm). 3D plots indicated that concentration of formulation ingredients significantly influences the formulation properties (globule size, emulsification time, and drug release). …”
