The present study is motivated by the development of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) for food applications. A focus of the study is the use of a factorial design to optimize the preparation variables. SLNs were prepared by hot homogenization at 60 °C. Cocoa butter was used to form the lipid core an...
