Abstract

Due to their natural and secure status, widespread consumer acceptability, and diverse functional capabilities, essential and vegetable oils have seen a rise in popularity over the past ten years in food and medical industrial applications. The development of novel therapeutics or efficient agents based on plant oils has, however, been hampered by issues with limited stability and/or diminished efficacy. Because of the need for plant oil and limitations of the stability, researchers search for alternate solutions like encapsulation. In encapsulation techniques nanocarriers act as a barrier between oils and environment, it will be helpful for the control of oil release, improving stability, reducing toxicity and increasing convenience. In this chapter, we focused on vegetable oil and essential oil with polymeric, liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles. At the same time, vegetable and essential oil manufacturing, and research regarding the plant oils and nanocarriers are highlighted.
