Nanoparticulate carrier for active ingredients, e.g. for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, agrochemical and food applications, comprises a colloidal dispersion with a hydrophobic dispersed phase in a thermotropic liquid crystal state

Nanoparticulate carrier for active ingredients comprises a colloidal dispersion with a hydrophobic dispersed phase that is present in a thermotropic liquid crystal state. An independent claim is also included for production of the carrier by generating the dispersion at high temperature (hot homogenization) or by another method.
