In the present study we demonstrate that a bulk inverse micellar cubic phase of Fd3m structure can be obtained by adding a hydrophobic component, such as the food-grade limonene, to the binary system monolinolein/water in a well-defined composition. The Fd3m

Lyotropic liquid crystal systems, such as reversed bicontinuous cubic and hexagonal mesophases, are attracting more and more attention because of their unique microstructures and physicochemical properties. Various bioactive molecules such as chemical drugs, peptides and proteins can be solubilized in

Monoacylglycerol based lipids are highly important model membrane components and attractive candidates for drug encapsulation and as delivery agents. However, optimizing the properties of these lipids for applications requires a detailed understanding of the thermodynamic factors governing the self-assembled structures
