Reaching a state of physical equilibrium has always been assumed to happen almost instantly in emulsions. However, researchers from Harvard have now shown that the process may actually take months, or ...

An emulsion is a two-phase system formed by droplets dispersed in another non-miscible liquid. Many emulsions consist of a hydrophobic ‘oily’ phase dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase.

Emulsions are two-phase systems consisting of a dispersed phase (the droplets or particles) and a continuous phase (liquid diluent like water). In the dispersed phase, droplet size is critically ...

A new method of emulsification, based on a pre-heat treatment of whey protein and microfluidization techniques, has produced a cold-set gelled emulsion for use in foods, say researchers. Scientists ...

Porous materials are relevant for a broad range of technologies from catalysis and filtration, to tissue engineering and lightweight structures. Controlling the porosity of these materials over ...

An emulsion is a blend of materials which do not normally mix, such as oil and water. Various types of emulsions have different textures, behaviour and properties, which make them useful for food, ...

Double emulsions are complex fluid systems, in which droplets of a dispersed liquid phase contain even smaller dispersed liquid droplets. Particularly, water-in-oil-in-water double emulsions provide ...

A new technique for making emulsions that does not require the ingredients to be intensively mixed has been unveiled by researchers in Bulgaria and the UK. The gentle nature of the emulsion-making ...
