Nature Meets Science: The Role of Food-Grade Oils and Green Excipients in Pharmaceutical Nanoemulsion Formulation.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Nanoemulsions are pivotal carriers which are increasingly adopted as carriers for poorly soluble active molecules. This review provides a critical overview of 'green' nanoemulsions, which are systems based on renewable, biodegradable, and non-toxic components and/or using sustainable production techniques. We here focus on the role of food-grade oils (including poly-unsaturated fatty acid-rich sources) and green excipients, with special attention on the interfacial properties of biosurfactants such as proteins, polysaccharides, and small-molecule surfactants. This review provides a critical overview of the formulation principles, interfacial phenomena, and physicochemical stability of green nanoemulsions, with reference to topical and pharmaceutical applications. The performance of nanoemulsions as delivery systems for bioactive lipids, essential oils, vitamins, carotenoids, phenolic compounds, and conventional drugs is examined through representative case studies. Known limitations, including oxidative instability, compositional variability, and difficulties in large scale production, are analyzed along with future opportunities in multifunctional formulations and sustainable processing. Overall, green nanoemulsions emerge as promising next-generation platforms for safe, effective, and environmentally friendly drug delivery.
