An attempt to augment the antioxidant ability of curcumin, a natural phenolic compound via encapsulation in nontoxic nanoemulsions, has been made. Ethanol and glycerol catalyzed curcumin encapsulated nanoemulsions using cottonseed oil with mild cationic, anionic and nonionic surfactants have been prepared. The prepared bionanoemulsions were found to possess characteristic particle diameter between 100 and 900 nm. The curcumin encased bionanoemulsions have been further screened for antioxidant efficacy with free radical 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl that enabled a radical scavenging activity of more than 90% as compared to pure curcumin. Alongside, the reduced surface tension and increased viscosity of curcumin encapsulated bionanoemulsions within 38.37-52.85 mN/m and 0.7947-1.042 mPa-s have quantitatively verified curcumin dispersion and interaction within the continuous medium, enabled via thermodynamic shift.
