Multiple Emulsions a Coprehensive Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Multiple emulsions are also known as emulsions of emulsions, liquid membrane system or double emulsion. These have been proposed to have numerous uses including their use for enhancement of bioavailability or as a prolonged drug delivery system. Multiple emulsions are often stabilized using a combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfactants. The ratio of these surfactants is important in achieving stable multiple emulsions. The two major types of multiple emulsions are the w/o/w and o/w/o emulsions. The most common multiple emulsions are of W/O/W type which is widely used for pharmaceutical purposes. [2, 3]

One-step production of multiple emulsions: microfluidic, polymer-stabilized and particle-stabilized approaches.
Multiple emulsions have great potential for application in food science as a means to reduce fat content or for controlled encapsulation and release of actives. However, neither production nor stability is straightforward. Typically, multiple emulsions are prepared via two emulsification steps and a variety of approaches have been deployed to give long-term stability. It is well known that mult...
متن کاملTopical Treatments for Uremic Pruritus in Hemodialysis Patients: A Systematic Review
Background & Objective: Pruritus is a common disruptive symptom in hemodialysis patients and those with chronic renal failure. Although pharmacological treatments could partially reduce pruritus in hemodialysis patients, the definitive treatment remains challenging in these patients. Several studies have been published in this regard, while no reviews have been focused on these articles. The pr...
متن کاملMultiple Pickering Emulsions for Functional Materials
Conventional double emulsions, which are emulsions with smaller droplets of a third fluid within the larger drops, are generally stabilized by surfactants. Seifriz et al. first presented the double emulsions in 1925, but detailed studies on multiple emulsions were reported only in the last two decades. It is well known that the main drawbacks associated with traditional emulsions lie in low sta...

Multiple emulsions are nested sets of drops. Drops of one kind of fluid are encapsulated inside drops of a second fluid, which themselves can be encapsulated inside drops of yet another fluid. Such ‘‘emulsions within emulsions’’ are very useful for many applications, including for the encapsulation of actives, such as nutrients, pesticides, drugs, and detergents, and as templates for the synthe...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Multiple emulsions have excellent encapsulating potential and this investigation has been aimed to encapsulate two different plant extracts as functional cosmetic agents in the W/O/W multiple emulsions and the resultant system's long term stability has been determined in the presence of a thickener, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC). METHODS Multiple W/O/W emulsions hav...
