Lignins as Emulsion Stabilizers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the use of (kraft and soda) lignins as polymeric amphiphiles for the stabilization of emulsions. Lignins’ phase behavior in oil/water systems is presented and explained in terms of their molecular affinities. Emulsions with various oils (including crude oils) were formulated and their properties were rationalized in terms of lignin surface activity as a function of pH and salinity. It is concluded that lignins are effective emulsion stabilizer; the resulting emulsions behave according to the balance of affinities between oil and water phases and lignin-based emulsions can be tailored to meet specific demands.

Adding Value to Lignin by Oxidation in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
BODY: The properties of lignins as emulsification agents in systems composed of water and oil are presented. Laboratory and industrial Kraft lignins were characterized in terms of surface activity and phase behavior in equilibrated Lignin−Oil−Water systems. Lignin−based emulsions were obtained for oil fractions of different Equivalent Alkane Carbon Number. The properties of emulsions obtained a...
متن کاملThe Effect of Emulsifiers and Stabilizers in Oil and Vinegar Salad Dressing
Emulsifiers and stabilizers are known to be effective agents of emulsification. When used in an oil and vinegar salad dressing, they contribute to significant changes in density, viscosity, and color when compared to the control which contains no emulsifiers or stabilizers. The stabilizer used was xanthan gum and the emulsifier used was lecithin. It was found that the control remained the dense...

Purpose: The quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion (QESD) has evolved into an effective technique to manufacture agglomerates of API crystals. Although, the proposed technique showed benefits, such as cost effectiveness, that is considerably sensitive to the choice of a stabilizer, which agonizes from a absence of systemic understanding in this field. In the present study, the combination of differe...
متن کاملPhysical and Rheological Properties of Oil in Water Heat Stable Emulsions Made from Different Stabilizers
Oil in water emulsions have attracted considerable attention in food industry due to their large applications. In this study, the effect of thermal treatment on oil in water emulsions (o/w) containing 40% oil was studied. The emulsions were prepared using xanthan gum, guar gum and carboxymethyl cellulose as stabilizer and polyoxyethylen sorbitan monooleat as emulsifier. A mixture design was use...
متن کاملNanocellulose-stabilized Pickering emulsions and their applications
Pickering emulsion, which is an emulsion stabilized by solid particles, offers a wide range of potential applications because it generally provides a more stable system than surfactant-stabilized emulsion. Among various solid stabilizers, nanocellulose may open up new opportunities for future Pickering emulsions owing to its unique nanosizes, amphiphilicity, and other favorable properties (e.g....
