What is an emulsion?
Tharwat F. Tadros. 1.1 Introduction. Emulsions are a class of disperse systems consisting of two immiscible liquids [1–3]. The liquid droplets (the disperse phase) are dispersed in a liquid medium (the continuous phase). Several classes may be distinguished: oil-in-water (O/W), water-in-oil (W/O), and oil-in-oil (O/O).
What is the disperse phase of an emulsion?
Emulsions are a class of disperse systems consisting of two immiscible liquids [1–3]. The liquid droplets (the disperse phase) are dispersed in a liquid medium (the continuous phase). Several classes may be distinguished: oil-in-water (O/W), water-in-oil (W/O), and oil-in-oil (O/O).
Why do we need an emulsifier?
To form stable emulsions, an emulsifier is required to reduce the droplet sizes of the emulsions and enhance the emulsion stability. The purpose of this review article is to provide information about types of emulsions, stability mechanisms and rheological studies as well as factor affecting the stability of emulsions.
What are the main concerns when formulating emulsions?
In this chapter we describe some of the main concerns when it comes to formulating emulsions. This includes choice of ingredients, such as emulsifiers, oils, preservatives, and thickener. This is done with a focus on how these ingredients can give the wanted properties of the emulsions, such as texture, flavour, nutrition and stability.
