What are the Challenges Associated with Nanoemulsions?
Despite their numerous benefits, there are several challenges that need to be addressed:
Scalability: While nanoemulsions can be easily produced on a laboratory scale, scaling up the production to industrial levels can be challenging. Stability: Although nanoemulsions are generally more stable than conventional emulsions, they can still be susceptible to Ostwald ripening and other destabilization processes. Cost: The production of nanoemulsions often requires sophisticated equipment and surfactants, which can increase the overall cost. Regulatory Hurdles: Ensuring the safety and efficacy of nanoemulsion-based products can be challenging due to stringent regulatory requirements.
