The main objective of this study was to establish the relative importance operating parameters impacting formation food-grade oil-in-water nanoemulsions by high-pressure homogenization. goal unit operation create uniform and stable emulsified products with small mean particle diameters narrow polydispersity indices. In study, we examined performance a new commercial valve homogenizer, which has...

Emulsion formation is of great interest in the chemical and food industry droplet breakup key process. Droplet a quiet or laminar flow well understood, however, actual in-dustrial processes are always turbulent regime, leading to more complex phenomena. Since high resolution optical measurements on microscopic scales extremely dif-ficult perform, many aspects physically unclear. To over-come th...

Cellulose micro/nanofibril (CMNF) as a reinforcing material for composites is becoming more and more attractive to researchers in composite science because of its potential lightweight and high strength. CMNF is generally prepared by either physical treatment, e.g., by a high pressure homogenizer and/or high pressure refiner, or chemical treatments, e.g., acid hydrolysis. In this study, attempt...

Crossflow membrane filtration was used to process recombinant Escherichia coli cell lysates containing protein inclusion bodies after high pressure homogenization. The number of passes through the high pressure homogenizer changed the viscosities and average particle sizes of the cell lysates. The different cell lysates were processed with a hollow fiber unit containing microfiltration membrane...

Properties of emulsions such as stability, viscosity or color can be influenced by the droplet size distribution. High-pressure homogenization (HPH) is method choice for with a low to medium target mean diameter less than 1 µm. During HPH, droplets emulsion are exposed shear and extensional stresses, which cause them break up. Ongoing work focused on better understanding mechanisms breakup rele...
