Silicone polymers are a class of hybrid organic/inorganic polymers, that show desirable surface properties such as low surface energy and high flexibility, which enables even a very high molecular weight chain to achieve optimal orientation at the interface. They have excellent physical properties such as water repellency, heat stability, and high resistance to chemical and UV attack. Silicone ...

The effects of bile salts on the emulsifier adsorption layer play a crucial role in lipid digestion. current study selected sodium cholate (NaCh) and lecithin as model compounds for food emulsifiers, respectively. interface dilational rheological emulsification properties NaCh were carried out. results showed that molecules could quickly diffuse from bulk to interface, which broke tightly-arran...

Multiple emulsions (W1/O/W2) with a long-term stability of at least 12 months were prepared in order to encapsulate low molecular weight bioactive substances (Mr < 2000 g/mol). The influence of the emulsifying procedure, i.e. the variation in energy input for dispersing W1/O in W2, and the influence of the emulsion composition were investigated in relation to emulsion stability and encapsulatio...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of main emulsion components namely, modified starch, propylene glycol alginate (PGA), sucrose laurate and sucrose stearate on creaming index, cloudiness, average droplet size and conductivity of soursop beverage emulsions. Generally, the use of different emulsifiers or a mixture of emulsifiers has a significant (p < 0.05) effect on the response...

Curcumin is a flavonoid found in the rhizome of the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa L.) and has recently attracted interest because it has numerous biological functions and therapeutic properties. In the present study, we attempted to incorporate curcumin into medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) nanoemulsions (0.15 wt% curcumin, 10 wt% MCT oil, and 10 wt% emulsifiers) with various emulsifiers [polyox...

Nano- and microemulsions containing as the oil phase caprylic/capric propylene glycol diesters (Crodamol PC) were investigated as potential vehicle for controlled release of geranic acid. The influence of emulsifiers and co-surfactants on stability of the emulsions was investigated. Different kind of polysorbates (ethoxylated esters of sorbitan and fatty acids) were applied as the emulsifiers. ...
