Abstract
It has now been found that emulsions having a discrete phase volume fraction of 60% to 67% with excellent stability may be prepared using at least one low molecular weight surfactant. Such emulsions have high oil loading and a small mean particle size of less than 0.2 microns. Further, such emulsions may be used in beverages without weighting agents.
Claims20
An oil-in-water emulsion comprising:
- a. a water-containing continuous phase;
- b. an oil-containing discrete phase;
- and
- c. at least one low molecular weight surfactant;
- wherein the volume fraction of the discrete phase is from 60% to 67% and the emulsion has a mean particle size of less than 0.2 microns.
2 more elements
A method of making an oil-in-water emulsion comprising:
- a. mixing water, oil and at least one LMW surfactant to obtain a volume fraction of the discrete phase from 60-67;
- and
- b. homogenizing with less than 10 passes at a pressure of 17 to 65.5 MPascals;
- to result in an oil-in-water emulsion with a mean particle size of less than 0.2 microns.
