Abstract
The present invention concerns ternary system comprising 40 to 65% water; 6 to 22% alcohol or a ketone; and 25 to 60% a fatty acid or an ester thereof forming spontaneously a stable, non-viscous and clear nanosized structures having cubic-like nanosized symmetry. The ternary system may be dispersed and used as a solubilizing medium for hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances.

- and
- (iii) 25 to 60% a fatty acid or an ester thereof.
- forming spontaneously a stable, non-viscous and clear nanosized structures having cubic-like nanosized symmetry.
A ternary system comprising 45 to 55% water, 30 to 45% glycerol monooleate and 6 to 15% C1-C4 alcohol.
A ternary system comprising 45 to 55% water, 30 to 45% glycerol monooleate and 6 to 22% C3-C8 linear or cyclic ketone which may comprise a heteroatom such as nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur.
A stable ternary system comprising
- (i) 40 to 65% water;
- (ii) 6 to 22% alcohol or ketone;
- and
- (iii) 25 to 60% fatty acid or an ester thereof,
- forming spontaneously a stable, non-viscous and clear nanosized structures having cubic-like nanosized symmetry for use in solubilizing hydrophilic or hydrophobic substances in aqueous phase.
