Pregunta Respuesta
Tension water molecules pulling in against each other.
Exceptions surface molecules being exposed to the air (hydrophobic)
interfacial tension attractive force between the molecules at the air/water interface
surface tension when one interface is a liqud and he other is a gas, it is referred to as the surface tension
Emulsions contain one liquid finely dispensed in a second liquid they are usually o/w but may be in oil w/o or even multiple phases Eg: milk mayonaise salad dressing ice cream chocolate cosmetics
emulsifiers most commonly surfactants they lower the interfacial tension between the oil and water making it easier to form and emulsion
Surfactants- emulsifiers
Surfactants- emulsifiers lowering the interfacial tension also makes it easier to break the emulsion Surfactants help to stabilise an emulsion against breaking by adsorbing at the oil- water interface and preventing that interface from deforming or breaking.
Surfactants- Coalescence
Stability from surfactants
HLB Number- Hydrophobic Lipophilic Balance The balance between the hydrophobic and lipophilic parts of a surfactant surfactants have a genuine HLB number oils have a required HLB number if the oil's HLB and the surfactant's HLB match, then the emulsion will be most stable
HLB of a surfactant
Emulsification Surfactants can: Stabilise an o/w emulsion Stabilise a w/o emulsion solubilise the oil- by forming a micelle
General requirements of an emulsification reduce the interfacial tension adsorbs at the interface quickly resists thinning when droplets collide should be slight;y more soluble in the continuous face aid stability of flocculation aid stability to coagulation increase bulk viscosity perform well at low concentration be inexpensive GRAS- generally recognised as safe be chemically compatible with the oil work!
