Methods for forming miniemulsions and use thereof for delivering bioactive agents

摘要

The present invention relates to methods of forming miniemulsions and use of the miniemulsions as a delivery system for bioactive agents. In particular, the present invention relates to methods for forming a miniemulsion comprising providing a first phase comprising a hydrophilic surfactant, lipophillic surfactant and water and a second phase comprising a lipid, wherein said miniemulsion comprises emulsified particles having a mean diameter of 1μm or less.
