KEYWORDS: Phyto-nano emulsion, wheat germ oil, blackseed oil.
Nanotechnology is emerging field, not only in electronic, chemical synthesis, catalysis but now bursting in the food sector and medicinal application. The purpose of incorporating nanotechnology in the food industry is minimizing synthetic additive concentrations. For a nano-based medicinal application, nano-based delivery systems are developed by active lipophilic ingredient encapsulation dispersed in aqueous media1,2. In this review article, the term nanoemulsion will be highlighted which is well defined as oil droplet having a particle size ranging between 10nm-100nm in dispersion mainly aqueous.

Besides this, WGO possesses high octanosol content which helps in delaying the effect of aging. Monosaccharides in the form of glucose, rhamnose, xylose, and arabinose are found in the Black seed. Black cumin is rich in fatty acids, particularly the unsaturated and essential fatty acids. The EFAs, made of alpha-Linolenic acid (omega-3) and Linoleic acid (omega-6), are substances that cannot be manufactured in the body, and thus must be taken in as supplements or through high-EFA foods in order to sustain
