what is emulsification
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Emulsification is defined as a process of dispersing one liquid (containing the bioactive compounds) in a second immiscible liquid, by applying electrostatic, or hydrophobic, or hydrogen bonding interactions between the bioactive compounds and an encapsulating material
Answer:
What is emulsification?
Emulsification is the formation of emulsions from two immiscible liquid phases is probably the most versatile property of surface-active agents for practical applications and, as a result, has been extensively studied.
The process of dispersing one immiscible liquid in another immiscible liquid is called emulsification. Some common emulsifying agents are detergents and soaps, etc. This process is widely carried out in industries by mechanical mixing of the ingredients of the emulsion in different types of mixers.
Some Examples of Emulsions:
- Egg yolk – contains the emulsifying agent lecithin.
- Butter – water in the fat emulsion.
- Oil and water mixture.
- Mayonnaise – an emulsion of oil in water.
- Crema on espresso – an emulsion of water and coffee oil.
