2. From Animal
1. Gelatin
2. Wool fat
1. Acacia:
Dried exudation of Acacia Senega
Give O/W
Give good, stable and palatable emulsion but Low viscosity مهمه
Add Auxillary to improve viscosity
EX: Tragacanth, pectin, Alginates, Methyl cellulose, CMC and agar مهمه جداااا
2. Tragacanth
0.1 gm tragacanth = 1 gm of acacia
stable but tends to courses
3. Pectin
Used alone or in combination with acacia
0.1 gm Pectin = 1 gm of acacia
increase the viscosity of acacia 1 % of the final emulsion volume is employed
1. Methyl cellulose
Soluble in cold water
insoluble in organic solvent
solved in 1/3 amount of hot water
2. Carboxy methyl Cellulose
soluble in hot or cold water
Temp Viscosity
Available in 3 viscosity grades

From Animal Gelatin
Pharmagel A Pharmagel B
derived from an acid treated precursor derived from an alkali treated precursor
Phase inversion
With water soluble dye (Methylene blue) blue with O/W, Colorless with W/O
Oil soluble dye (Scarlet red) Red with W/O, Colorless with O/W

Method of emulsion preparation
used for
00000
- volatile oil
- oleaginous substances of low viscosities
not suited for viscous oils
Emulsion stability
1. Flocculation, Creaming
Flocculation Creaming
joining globule together to form large Floccules aggregate to form concentrated
clumps of floccules layer at surface or bottom
Reversible Irreversible
When stored emulsion at High Temp above When stored emulsion at very Low Temp
50 OC lower than 4OC

prevent the rancidity
Examples: مهم
Anti-Oxidant 1. BHA
2. BHT in conc. (0.001-0.1 %)
Types of Emulsion:
4. Nano particles
