Preparation and characterization of nano-emulsion formulations of root and aerial parts extracts: evaluation of antibacterial and anticancer activities of nano-emulsion versus pure plant extract.

Abstract in brief

• The study focuses on creating and characterizing nano-emulsion formulations from extracts of the Asparagus plant to enhance their water solubility and therapeutic potential.
• Asparagus extracts contain beneficial compounds but have limited solubility, thus nano-emulsions are developed to improve their antibacterial and anticancer efficacy.
• Results showed nano-emulsions had suitable properties, significantly boosting the antimicrobial and anticancer activities against specific resistant bacteria and cancer cell lines compared to the unprocessed extracts.
