Correlation Between Nature of Emulsifier and Multiple Emulsion Stability

Abstract

The effect of emulsifier type on the preparation and stability of multiple emulsions was studied. The influence on the yield of preparation and stability with regard to the HLB of emulsifier II was found to be different for each emulsifier. The best stabilities of the multiple emulsions were obtained when there is a similarity between the hydrophobic part of the emulsifier and the oil phase.
