Encapsulation of functional lipophilic components in surfactant-based colloidal delivery systems: Vitamin E, vitamin D, and lemon oil

► Vitamin E acetate, vitamin D and lemon oil were encapsulated in colloidal delivery systems. ► Surfactant-to-oil ratio influenced the formation and stability of nanoemulsions and microemulsions. ► Lemon oil could form microemulsions or nanoemulsions, whereas vitamins E and D could only form nanoemulsions. ► This study facilitates design of colloidal delivery systems for food and beverage applications.
