Formulation of lemongrass oil (Cymbopogon citratus)-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles: an in vitro assessment study.

ABSTRACT: Cymbopogon citratus (DC) stapf. (Gramineae) is a herb known worldwide as lemongrass. The oil obtained, i.e., lemongrass oil has emerged as one among the most relevant natural oils in the pharmaceutical industry owing to its extensive pharmacological and therapeutic benefits including antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral and anticancer properties. However, its usage in novel formulations is constrained because of its instability and volatility. To address these concerns, the present study aims to formulate lemongrass-loaded SLN (LG_SLN) using hot water titration technique. In the S_mix, Tween 80 was selected as a surfactant component, while ethanol was taken as a co-surfactant. Different ratios of S_mix (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 2:1 and 3:1) were ut
