The research project on “The Nanoparticle Encapsulated Hydrogel Composition for Essential Oils and the Preparation Methods” conducted by a research team from Chulalongkorn University is an important first step for Thailand’s nanotechnology industry. The project is an upgrade of biological products that successfully employ nanoencapsulation technology to precisely deliver substances to parts of the body, especially application in the cosmeceutical industry, functional foods, and products for pets and economic animals. The technology can be expanded to benefit the delivery system of pharmaceutical and herbal substances, thereby enhancing the country’s self-reliance on developing innovation from raw materials and natural extracts. In addition, it supports the supply chain of health and biological products in Thailand, contributing to the country’s BCG economy.
