The purpose of this study is to produce an oil-in-water nano-emulsion by ultrasonication. Casein combined with inulin used as continuous phase, while dispersed phase consisted of fish oil. The size of the nano-emulsion and the pH of nano-emulsion were characterized. Ultrasound has been used for preparing emulsion by 24 KHz intensity for 120 seconds. Prepared nano-emulsion was investigated by pa...

The purpose of the present study was to develop the Solutol HS15-based doxorubicin submicron emulsion with good stability and overcoming multi-drug resistance. In this study, we prepared doxorubicin submicron emulsion, and examined the stability after autoclaving, the in vitro cytotoxic activity, the intracellular accumulation and apoptpsis of doxorubicin submicron emulsion in MCF-7/ADR cells. ...

In this study, a membrane-integrated glass capillary device for preparing small-sized water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion droplets is demonstrated. The concept of integrating microfluidics to prepare precise structure-controlled double emulsion droplets with the membrane emulsification technique provides a simple method for preparing small-sized and structure-controlled double emulsion dropl...

the purpose of this study was to produce oil in water nano-emulsion by ultrasonication, and investigate the influence of inulin and β-cyclodextrin on the prosperities of nano-emulsion and morphology of spray dried microcapsules. the results showed that emulsion droplet size in samples containing β-cyclodextrin (8.28±0.11 nm) was less than inulin samples (97.12±4.2 nm). considering sem photos, β...

two steps synthetic method for the preparation of a novel emulsion stabilizer called poly(ricineoleic acid-b-ethyleneglycol-b-ricineoleic acid) with average mass molecular weight of 7000 daltons is investigated. in the first step, oligoricineoleic acid with average mass molecular weight of 1800 daltons is synthesized (yield 70%). in the second step, the desired copolymer is  synthesized from th...

the oil refining industries are using a number of demulsifiers for dewatering and desalination of crude oil but experience has shown that universal demulsifiers can not be produced. each kind of water in oil (w/o) emulsion requires specific by composition demulsifier. in practice, synergetic effect of the interaction between different types of demulsifiers is often sought. for dewatering the w...

Background: Intravenous drug delivery is an advantageous choice for rapid administration, immediate drug effect, and avoidance of first-pass metabolism in oral drug delivery. In this study, the synthesis, formulation, and characterization of atorvastatin-loaded polyurethane (PU) nanoparticles were investigated for intravenous route of administration. Method: First, PU was synthesized and charac...

A number of processes are available: condensation-, interfacial-, suspensionand emulsion-polymerization. Suspension and emulsion polymerization are the preferred methods for the commercial production of polymer microsphere carrier particles and reference/standard particles for calibration of scientific instruments. In general, emulsion polymerization produces a smaller particle size and a narro...

background: the dispersed phase volume fraction plays key role in oil-in-water emulsion stability by different mechanisms like partial flocculation, depletion flocculation and bridging flocculation. since the mentioned mechanism is affected by emulsifier concentration presented in system, the major aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dispersed phase volume fraction on physical st...

This study was conducted to evaluate emulsion mapping between emulsion stability and cooking yields, apparent viscosity, and hardness of reduced-fat pork emulsion systems. The reduced-fat emulsion systems were supplemented with different lipid types and brown rice bran fiber (BRF) concentrations. Compared to the control with 30% back fat, lower emulsion stability and higher cooking yield of mea...
