The present study aims at the use of novel nanosized carriers for plant bio-actives to significantly enhance the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of plant actives and avoid side-effects of synthetic agents. In present study, we have created Quercetin and Ferulic acid loaded micro-emulsion formulations using, oleic acid, Polysorbate 80 and propylene glycol as the oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant, respectively. To make topical psoriasis treatment easier, various batches of microemulsions with surfactant: cosurfactant compositions ranging from 31%w/w to 34%w/w were prepared and embedded in a hydrogel system containing gelling agents like sodium alginate and carbapol 940.

Emulsion viscosity reaches a minimum at the phase inversion point, which corresponds to an ultra-low interfacial tension condition. A strong correlation between the reported fish-tail temperature (<i>T</i>*) and the phase inversion temperature (PIT) was observed. While identifying optimal conditions through a formulation scan in a series of test tubes is relatively quick, evaluating the surfactant system's ability to reduce interfacial tension can take several weeks due to the requirement of equilibrium. Formulation conditions at which minimal emulsion viscosity occurs are related to those where three-phase systems are obtained, with the magnitude of interfacial tension inversely proportional to this value.
