N2 - Many commercial products (e.g., agrochemicals, paints, household products, foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics) contain active ingredients in lipid-based colloidal carriers. For example, emulsions, lipid nanoparticles, micelles, liquid crystals and liposomes are attractive as encapsulation and delivery systems for both oil- and water-soluble molecules. A challenge for the formulation scientist in optimizing such lipid-based carriers is to enhance their shelf lives and carrier performance without utilizing large quantities of surfactants that may have detrimental human toxicological and environmental concerns.
