Abstract: The present study was aimed to formulate and evaluate the Pongamia pinnata (Karanj) seed oil in water nanoemulsion by using low energy Emulsion Phase Inversion (EPI) method.To formulate the nanoemulsion, minimum concentration of non-ionic surfactant Tween 80 and Span 20 were used. The nanoemulsions were evaluated for analysis of globule size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, pH, viscosity, refractive index and physical stability. The optimized nanoemulsion was composed of 6% Karanj oil, 40% Smix and 54% aquous phase. The average droplet size of the optimized nanoemulsion was found to be 245 nm. The results revealed that, the developed nanoemulsion was found to be stable at long term stability study.
