Curcumin nanoparticles can be formulated by spray drying method. In this method turmeric powder, which is the starting material and contains Curcumin as an active component is subjected to an extraction process to isolate curcumin. The turmeric powder is processed to extract the oily curcumin rich turmeric extract. After which, with the help of solvent extraction curcumin is dissolved in a suitable solvent. Then the turmeric extract is emulsified, with most probably water phase, using surfactants or stabilizers to form an emulsion, which ensures better dispersion of the oil in an aqueous environment. Thereafter, the emulsion is processed through spray drying, where it is atomized into fine droplets and is dried using hot air oven. With the help of this step, we are able to transfer the liquid emulsion into a powder form. The product is microencapsulated powder which enhances the solubility of curcumin in water and ensures better colorimetric stability making the product suitable for applications like food preservation or pharmaceutical formulations. Besides all these advantages the method is not cost effective . Schematic diagram for preparation of curcumin nanoparticle by Spray drying Method is shown in figure .
