Emulsions are dispersions of at least two immiscible liquids, one of which is dispersed as droplets in the other liquid, and stabilized by an emulsifier, such as oil and water. Different types of emulsions can be formulated according to different applications. Emulsions are categorized as simple or multiple type. Oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) are the simple emulsions, while water-in-oilin-water (W/O/W), and oil-in-water-in-oil (O/W/O) emulsions are known as multiple emulsions. Droplets of different sizes and the size distribution patterns formed based on different emulsification processes can affect their physicochemical properties. Hence, the droplet size and its distribution may determine the shelf-life stability, rheological properties, color and taste of food emulsions. Micro/ nano-emulsions have been increasingly utilized in the food industr y as deliver y system carriers that can encapsulate, protect, and deliver lipophilic functional food components, such as bioactive lipids, oil-soluble flavors, vitamins, and nutraceuticals. The application of micro/nano-emulsions has potential advantages in increasing the bioavailability of lipophilic functional food components, modulating the product texture and improving the stability of droplets against aggregation. This article provides an over view of the current status of micro/nano-emulsion containing functional food components, preparations and characterizations, and presents the applications of micro/nanoemulsions in food industry.

Mode of action of a poly herbal Ayurvedic formulation is a critical and essential issue to be considered in assuring the therapeutic efficacy and safety. Churna (Powder) preparations are widely and largely prepared in pharmacy as well as used by practitioners of Ayurveda for different ailments. Hingwashtaka Churna is one of the commonly used preparation containing very safe and easily available herbo-mineral drugs. Although, Hingvastak Churna is not mentioned in major classics like Charak Samhita, Sushruta Samhita etc. but after 3 rd. century onwards, it is mentioned in various authentic texts like Astanga hridaya samhita, Vanga sen Samhita, Sharangdhar samhita and Yoga ratnakar etc. under the treatment of Gulma roga, Ajeerna, Agnimandya etc. In clinical practice, it is a drug of choice for Digestive impairment. However, as per classical texts and Ayurvedic Formulary of India, it is indicated for Agnimandya (Digestive impairment), Shula (Colicky Pain), Gulma (Abdominal lump) and Vata roga (Disease due to Vata dosha). The present study is aimed to critically review the formulation ingredients and probable mode of action of Hingvastak churna in different clinical conditions.
