Abstract
A dendritic emulsifier for forming an oil-in-water emulsion includes an anhydride-modified phytoglycogen or glycogen-type material. A method of preparing an oil-in-water emulsion includes: (a) combining oil, water, and a dendritic emulsifier; and (b) mixing a combination of the oil, water, and dendritic emulsifier. A method of preparing a dendritic emulsifier includes reacting an anhydride with a phytoglycogen or glycogen-type material in solution, thereby forming an anhydride-modified phytoglycogen or glycogen-type material.

A dendritic emulsifier for forming an oil-in-water emulsion comprising an anhydride-modified, water-soluble phytoglycogen or water-soluble glycogen-type material.
A method of preparing an oil-in-water emulsion comprising:
- combining oil, water, and a dendritic emulsifier;
- and mixing a combination of the oil, water, and dendritic emulsifier;
- wherein the dendritic emulsifier comprises an anhydride-modified, water-soluble phytoglycogen or water-soluble glycogen-type material.
A method of preparing a dendritic emulsifier comprising:
- reacting an anhydride with a water-soluble phytoglycogen or water-soluble glycogen-type material in solution, thereby forming an anhydride-modified phytoglycogen or glycogen-type material;
- wherein the anhydride is selected from the group consisting of succinic anhydride, octenyl succinic anhydride, and a combination thereof.
