Characterization of gamma linolenic acid (GLA) nanoemulsion / Sayidah Nafisah Hamzah

The purpose of this study was to develop a stable microemulsion containing gamma linolenic acid with an acceptable particle size range as well as a good particle size distribution. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is an important conditionally EF A. GLA is an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUF A). Th...
