Implication

In vitro study demonstrates that high-power ultrasonic emulsification stabilizes Moringa seed oil nanoemulsions, indicating their viability as nutrient-delivery vehicles in functional food spreads.

Key Points

To develop and evaluate a nutrient delivery system using Moringa oleifera seed oil nanoemulsions formulated with Tween-20 via high-energy ultrasonic emulsification.
Fabricated Moringa oleifera seed oil nanoemulsions (MONE) with Tween-20 using ultrasonic emulsification across three power levels (70%, 80%, and 90%).
Characterized formulations for droplet size, zeta potential, functional groups (FTIR), thermal behavior (DSC), and morphology (TEM) across oven, room, and refrigeration storage conditions.
Incorporated the optimized 90% MONE formulation into a chickpea bread spread and evaluated its macronutrient composition.
The 90% power formulation achieved the smallest average droplet size at 293.07 ± 2.66 nm and exhibited zeta potential values exceeding −30 mV, indicating strong electrostatic repulsion and dispersion stability.
Storage testing across oven, room, and refrigerated conditions showed minimal particle size shifts alongside resistance to phase separation and creaming, supported by spherical, non-aggregated morphology under TEM.
Chickpea bread spread enriched with 90% MONE contained 5.50% protein and 18.10% carbohydrate with reduced fat content.
