Particle size distribution of oil in water optimal nanoemulsion prepared with C. guianensis oil. Day 0: mean droplet size = 148.8 ± 0.2646 nm and polydispersity index = 0.131 ± 0.012. Day 1: mean droplet size = 151.5 ± 0.6028 and polydispersity index = 0.132 ± 0.017. C. guianensis oil content in the nanoemulsion was 5000 ppm.
