Emulsion Stability: Determination from Turbidity
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel technique for studying the stability of emulsions has been developed. Owing to the fact that emulsion turbidity is a function of particle concentration and size, the stability of emulsions can be determined by measuring the change in turbidity with time. The relationship between turbidity and particle size and concentration is derived for a polydispersed emulsion. The stability of acoustically prepared emulsions determined by measuring the initial mean particle size and changes in emulsion turbidity is compared with the stability determined from scanning electron microscope measurements of the particle growth rate. The agreement between the two methods is excellent.

Improved Quantitation of Cephalin-cholesterol Flocculation Test.
A rapid turbidimetric method for the determination of cephalin-cholesterol flocculation is described. Greater specificity and photometric sensitivity have been achieved along with adequate precision. The test is standardized with the conventionalbarium sulfate turbidity standards usedfor other laboratory procedures. Definition of results in turbidity units is proposed, and photometric standardi...
متن کاملFormation and stability of Vitamin E nano-emulsion based delivery systems by spontaneous emulsification method: Glycerol as a co-solvent
There is considerable interest in using nano-emulsions (NEs) as delivery systems for lipophilicbioactive ingredients. In this study, the influence of G on the properties of vitamin E (VE) enriched NEsprepared using spontaneous emulsification (SE) method, were investigated. The particle size and optical clarityof the NEs depended strongly on the co-solvent presence, absence, an...
متن کاملTurbidimetric procedure for determination of lipase activity.
A method is described for turbidimetric assay of Iipase activity. The substrate is a two-phase emulsion composed of a fairly homogenous dispersion of micelles of either triolein or olive oil. The de-emulsification of the substrate after lipase addition is a true measure of the enzymatic activity. Turbidity change is related to amount of the enzyme by use of a commercial standard, purified lipas...
متن کاملEffects of Beef Fat Replacement with Gelled Emulsion Prepared with Olive Oil on Quality Parameters of Chicken Patties
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of using gelled emulsion (olive oil 46%, inulin 9%, gelatin 3%) as fat replacer on some quality parameters of chicken patties. For this purpose GE, prepared with olive oil, gelatin and inulin was replaced with beef fat at a level of 0%, 25%, 50%, 100% (C, G25, G50, G100). In this study syneresis, thermal stability, centrifuge and creamin...
