Emulsification

Emulsification studies were conducted with water and canola oil (no surfactant).  Varying amounts of horsepower were used as designated by Hz under the jars.  As horsepower was increased, the time the emulsion was stable increased.  This can be directly related to the particle size achieved.  The SPR can be used to “tune” particle size.

The picture above, taken a day after the emulsions were made, shows how changing the rpms changes particle size in an emulsion and thus the stability.
