EXPERIMENT 8- DISPERSE SYSTEMS (EMULSIONS)

1. COD LIVER EMULSION (ENGLISH METHOD/ WET GUM METHOD/ 4:2:1 METHOD*)
 PROCEDURE
 Triturate gum with water in a mortar to form a mucilage.
 Oil is added slowly in portions and then the mixture is triturated
 After adding the oil, thoroughly mix for several minutes to form the primary emulsion
 Once the primary emulsions have been formed, the remaining quantity of water is added to make the final
emulsion
 FORMULA

2. TURPENTINE OIL EMULSION (CONTINENTAL METHOD/ DRY GUM METHOD/ 4:2:1 METHOD)
 PROCEDURE
 The gum is triturated with the oil in a dry mortar until thoroughly mixed.
 Two parts of water are added all at once and the mixture is triturated rapidly until the primary emulsion is
creamy white and produces a crackling sound to the movement of the pestle
 FORMULA
 Turpentine oil 60 ml
 Acacia 15 g

3. METHYL SALICYLATE EMULSION (FORBES BOTTLE METHOD/ 2:2:1 METHOD)

 PROCEDURE
 Oil or water is first shaken thoroughly and vigorously with the computed amount of gum
 once this emulsified completely, the second liquid (either oil or water) is then added all at once
 the bottle is shaken vigorously to form the primary emulsion
 more of water is added in small portions with constant agitation after each addition to produce the final
volume
 FORMULA
 Methyl Salicylate 60 ml
 Acacia 15 g
 Purified water q.s
