    Nanoemulsions of β-carotene were prepared using a high-energy emulsification–evaporation technique based on a 23 level factorial design. Results show that it is possible to obtain dispersions at a nanoscale range. Process parameters such as time and shear rate of homogenization affected significantly particle size distribution in terms of volume-weighted mean diameter and surface-weighted mean diameter. The obtained nanoemulsions presented a
