... seed oil (BSO) contains thymoquinone, an active ingredient that is well-known for its antioxidant property and used in food and traditional medicine. BSO is encapsulated in micrometre-sized alginate beads (AB), to increase its palatability. This encapsulation is established and produced on a small scale in the lab. To achieve the ideal BSO alginate nanoemulsion during large-scale manufacturing, it is vital to use suitable parameters where two parameters were ...
