[6]-gingerol is the main bioactive compound in Zingiber officinale, widely known as ginger in Malaysia. Zingiber officinale extract has been discovered to have anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial effects to human body. The aim of this study is to develop NLC formulation for [6]-gingerol and to estimate the potential of NLC as a delivery system for these water insoluble drugs. In this work, the preparation of ginger oil loaded onto nanostructured lipid carrier (GO-NLC) was done by using ultrasonication method. The GO-NLCs were assessed by evaluating the morphology and its entrapment efficiency. The morphological study was performed by using Zetasizer Nano S and the entrapment efficiency analysis of NLC was performed using HPLC by detecting [6]-gingerol as active biomarker. The average particle size for GO-NLCs ranged from size 100 to 250 nm and the average encapsulation efficiency was 92.7 ± 3.03%. Based on analysis, it is proved that nanostructured lipid carriers has high potential to be nanocarriers for [6]-gingerol.
