Effects of glutamic acid (Glu) and monosodium glutamate (MSG) on oxidative stability of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions with different emulsifier charges during riboflavin (RF) photosensitization were evaluated by analyzing headspace oxygen content and conjugated dienes. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), Tween 20, and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) were used as cationic, neutral, and anionic emulsifiers, respectively. Glu acted as an antioxidant in CTAB- and Tween-20-stabilized O/W emulsions during RF sensitization, whereas Glu acted as prooxidants in SDS-stabilized O/W emulsions in the dark. However, adding MSG did not have a constant impact on the degree of oxidation in O/W emulsions irrespective of the emulsifier charge. In RF-photosensitized O/W emulsions, the emulsifier charge had a greater influence on antioxidant properties of Glu than on those of MSG.

In this study, four types of water-heavy fuel oil hybrid emulsion oil were manufactured depending on the moisture content ratio in order to reduce exhaust emissions of heavy fuel oil(Bunder-C), which is necessarily used in vessels, power plants and boilers. The components of the manufactured emulsion oil were analyzed using the ISO standard testing method. The analysis result showed that in the EM25 fuel with a maximum moisture content ratio of 25.0%, the moisture content was 25.0%, the sulphur content was 0.20%, the kinematic viscosity was 144.8mm2/s, the specific gravity was 0.9382, and the flash point was 100 Celsius degrees or above.

This study was carried out to produce stable evening primrose oil in water emulsion by using various emulsifier with HLB (8.6, 12, 16.7), concentration (0-45%) and emulsification methods such as high-speed emulsification (7,000 rpm, 2 min) and high-pressure homogenization (10,000 psi, 1 cycle). And then properties of evening primrose oil in water emulsion was evaluated with keeping at room temperature and 40oC during 28 days. Lower HLB 8.6 and high viscosity emulsifier added emulsions were not appropriate for high-pressure homogenization and were separated in a day. The optimum emulsification condition was HLB 12 and high-pressure homogenization (10,000 psi, 1 cycle) for evening primrose oil in water emulsion. These emulsions produced by optimum condition were not separated with the aqueous phase and the oil phase and they were nano-sized around 200 nm, higher zeta-potential (±mV), mono-polydispersed (<0.3), and less oxidized (<0.4) during 28 days.

This study was performed to analyze a saltiness enhancement at the same salt content through multiple emulsion. We compared the samples with different conditions to determine the optimum stability conditions of water-in-oil through layer separation rate, microscopic observation and size analysis. Four electrolytes such as NaCl, KCl, MgCl2, and CaCl2 were used and agar contents ranged from 0 to 1% were experimented at different volume ratios including 5:5, 4:6, 3:7, 2:8, and 1:9 of water and oil. As a result of this study, the droplet size according to the electrolyte type did not show significant differences (p<0.05). Therefore, KCl was used to facilitate in-body excretion of NaCl in the outer water phase, and corn oil containing 8%(w/w) polyglycerol polyricinoleate was used as oil phase. When the volume ratio of water and oil was 3:7, 2:8, and 1:9, the layer separation rate was relatively slow and droplet size was also small. It reveals that the particle size becomes smaller as the water volume ratio decreases. However, considering the amount of water to be stored and eluted on the inner water, appropriate volume ratio of water and oil should be adopted to 3: 7. At Microscopic observation depending on agar concentrations, small particle size appeared at 0.2% and 0.4% agars. When the water and oil ratio was fixed at 3:7, the particle size was measured at 0.2% and 0.4% agar using a zeta sizer. In conclusion, the droplet size of 0.2% agar was smaller than 0.4%. Therefore, the most stable water-in-oil emulsion was obtained with 0.2% agar, when water to oil ratio was 3:7.

Curcumin is an active polyphenolic compound with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antitumor properties. Curcumin, however, is highly unstable under physiological conditions due to its low stability in acidic and alkaline conditions. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of enzyme-treated rice starch as a wall material on the stability of curcumin in oil-in-water emulsion under different pH conditions. The rice starch was treated using 4-a-glucanotransferase for different time periods and their molecular weight distribution was measured by HPSEC. Curcumin was encapsulated within lipid droplets of O/W emulsion prepared with Tween 20 and the modified rice starch in the aqueous phase at different concentrations (0, 2.5, 7.5 and 10 wt%). The temperature and pH stability of the system were determined respectively by measuring particle size, zeta potential and retention of the curcumin loaded in the emulsion after one-week storage in the solutions with different pH and temperature conditions. The average molecular weight of the modified starch decreased with treatment time. The 96h treated rice starch had the lowest molecular weight while the 1h treated starch mainly consisted of high molecular weight components. The storage temperature did not significantly influence the stability of curcumin emulsion. However, the particle size of the emulsion with modified starch slightly increased when stored at acidic pH condition, which might be attributed to starch aggregation. The curcumin retention was higher for the samples with the modified starch than the control at all concentrations. The pH stability of the curcumin was also higher than the control at all pH conditions. Specifically, the 1h treated starch showed the best performance regarding curcumin protection in emulsion, which might be attributed to the high viscosity that retarded the curcumin release. Further research needs to be conducted on the mechanism.

Retinol is a type of vitamin A that helps the skin's epidermal cells maintain their original function and plays an important role in visual acuity. However, retinol cannot simply be incorporated into foods in its pure form because of limited solubility and chemical instability. In this study, retinol was encapsulated within lipid droplets of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion and the photo stability of retinol loaded in O/W emulsion was examined. O/W emulsions containing retinol were prepared using Tween 20, Decaglycerine myristate and WPI, respectively, at different oil concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 wt%). Photo stability of retinol was determined by measuring retention rate (%) of retinol loaded in O/W emulsions after exposure to UV light for 24 h and compared to that of retinol dissolved in ethanol. The retinol retention rate was higher for O/W emulsions than retinol in ethanol and the retention rate increased as the oil concentration of emulsions increased, which might be attributed to the opaqueness of emulsions. As the oil concentration of emulsions increased, the turbidity of emulsions also increased. In terms of the type of emulsifier, decaglycerine myristate-stabilized emulsion had the highest retinol retentions rate than other emulsifier-stabilized emulsions after exposure to UV light. This study provides important information for designing effective emulsion-based delivery systems for improving the stability of retinol.

The purposes of this research were to develop water-in-oil-in-water double emulsion (DE) for co-loading EGCG and piperine as its marker compounds, and to determine its physicochemical properties. Stable DE was produced based on our previous research. Briefly, for oil phase (O), olive oil, glycerol ester of wood rosin, polyglycerol polyricinoleate, piperine, and for interior water phase (W1), deionized water, gelatin, sodium chloride, ascorbic acid, and EGCG were mixed and heated up to 60°C. Thereafter, W1 was dispersed into O dropwisely followed by magnetic stirring, high-shear homogenization, and ultrasonication, respectively. Produced water-in-oil primary emulsion (PE) was rested at 4°C for 30 min. For exterior water phase (W2), deionized water, sodium chloride, ascorbic acid, and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate were mixed. Thereafter, PE was dispersed into W2 dropwisely followed by magnetic stirring, ultrasonication, and high pressure homogenization, respectively. The structure of DE was observed through optical and transmission electron microscopy. And the influence of applying time of high pressure homogenization on the stability of DE was determined. Also, in vitro release characteristics of DE was investigated by using HPLC. Optimized stable DE would be an attractive delivery system for co-loading both hydrophilic and lipophilic bioactive compounds simultaneously. And, once developed, it can be applied to the various food applications such as beverage in a wide range of formulations.

본 연구는 바이오매스를 열분해하여 생성된 수상오일(water soluble oil)을 얻었다. MDO (Marine Diesel Oil)와 수상오일을 유화시켜 생성된 에멀젼 연료의 특성과 배출가스를 연구 하였다. 바 이오매스로는 톱밥을 사용하였고 500 ℃에서 열분해하여 생성된 물과 탄화수소를 응축시켜서 수상오일 을 얻었다. 수상오일을 MDO에 10∼20% 까지 혼합 후 유화시켜 에멀젼 연료를 만들었다. 엔진 배출가 스 측정은 엔진 dinamometer로 실시하였다. 유화연료는 연소실내에서 미세폭발을 일으켜 연료를 잘게 쪼개어 주어 smoke를 감소시킨다. 그리고 물이 연소실내의 기화열을 빼앗아 연소실 내부의 온도를 낮추 어 NOx 생성을 억제하는 효과를 갖는다. ND-13모드의 각 모드별 배출가스온도가 MDO에 비해 유화 연료를 사용했을 때 낮게 나온 것으로 뒷받침 될 수 있었다.유화연료의 함수율이 증가함에 따라 NOx와 smoke의 배출량은 줄어들었으며, 출력도 함수율 증가에 따라 유화연료 자체의 발열량 감소로 인하여 줄어든 것으로 판단된다.ND-13모드에서 MDO 유화연료를 시험한 결과 바이오매스오일 함유량 20%인 유화연료의 NOx 감 소량은 약 25%, smoke의 총감소량은 약 60%, 그리고 약 15%의 출력손실을 확인하였다.

Ginsenosides are sensitive to various factors such as pH, temperature, ionic strength, etc. However, powdery form of ginseng is good to preserve ginsenosides in it compared to the extracted form. In addition, the ginseng powder can provide pickering effect to control emulsion stability as a substitute of emulsifier forming wall on the surface of oil. A ginseng pickering emulsions was prepared by mixing, MCT oil, polysorbate 80 and ginseng. Thereafter, to homogenize the emulsions magnetic stirrer, homogenizer and ultra sonicator were used. The physicochemical properties, stability, and bioaccessibility of the ginseng pickering emulsion were investigated. Both particle size and polydisperse index of the ginseng pickering emulsion were constant as time elapsed. However, pH and zeta-potential of the ginseng pickering emulsion decreased over time. Moreover, to find out the proper amount of ginseng powder, different ginseng powder weights were added to sample respectively and the physiochemical characteristics were measured. The pH and zeta-potential value tended to decrease following increase of amount of ginseng powder. This result is impacted to food quality and it could be used as a preliminary result in the development of food product.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of weighting agent (WA) and high pressure homogenization (HPH) on the stability of water-in-oil-in-water double emulsion (DE). To prepare oil phase (O), olive oil, glycerol ester of wood rosin (WA; variable 1), and polyglycerol polyricinoleate (lipophilic emulsifier), and for interior water phase (W1), deionized water, gelatin, sodium chloride, ascorbic acid, and green tea extract(core material) were mixed and heated. When temperature of O and W1 reached up to 60℃, W1 was dispersed into O dropwisely followed by magnetic stirring at 1500 rpm for 2 min (O:W1=3:1). By applying homogenization at 4000 rpm for 2 min followed by ultrasonication for 4 min, water-in-oil primary emulsion (PE) was produced. And resting PE at 4℃ for 30 min was followed. For exterior water phase (W2), deionized water, sodium chloride, ascorbic acid, and polysorbate 80 (hydrophilic emulsifier) were mixed. When temperature of PE reached at room temperature (24 ± 2℃), PE was dispersed into W2 dropwisely followed by magnetic stirring at 1500 rpm for 15 min (PE:W2=1:3). By applying ultrasonication for 2 min followed by HPH at 500 bar for 1 to 3 times (variable 2), DE was produced. When DE was freshly produced, phase separation occurred at different period of time depending on whether variable 1 and 2 were applied or not (from 5 min to more than a day). The structure of DE was observed through optical and transmission electron microscopy. And relationship between the mean size of oil droplets and the occurring time of phase separation was studied. DE can be used as an appropriate delivery system for co-loading both hydrophilic and lipophilic bioactive compounds simultaneously, and promoting industrialization as well by applying it to food products, for example, beverage.

This study is related to the developing method of a transparent sunscreen cosmetic which has waterproofing property and no white turbidity when applied to skin. The transparent sunscreen is prepared by exploiting refractive index difference between oil-phase and water-phase of water-in-oil(W/O) emulsion. The sunscreen according to this study is prepared as a W/O type emulsion so that it is water-stable and water resistance. Also, the stability of W/O type emulsion is developed by adjusting the content of oil phase part and water phase part. As a result of this studying, the transparent W/O emulsion is prepared by adjusting the refractive index of oil-phase and water-phase within 0.004 and it is found that the stability of the transparent sunscreen is increasing when the water phase part is over 75% (w/w) of the W/O emulsion.Through clinical test of transparent sunscreen, the value of sun protection Factor(SPF) and Protection Factor of UVA(PFA) were determined. SPF and PFA values of transparent sunscreen were indicated 30.99±1.65 and 3.01±0.30.

본 연구에서는 0.5 wt% 에멀젼형 절삭유 수용액에 평막형 분리막을 침지시키고 대칭 및 비대칭 사인파형 투과유속 연속운전(SFCO) 방식으로 실험하였다. 사용한 정밀여과막은 유효 막면적이 0.02 m2이고 공칭 세공크기가 0.15 μm이었다. 탁도 기준으로 에멀젼형 절삭유의 99% 이상이 제거되었으며 산기량이 증가할수록 TMP가 낮게 상승하였다. 비대칭형 SFCO 운전방식은 투과유속이 낮은 10∼15 L/m2·h 영역에서 대칭형 SFCO 운전방식보다 다소 유리하였다. 하지만, 투과유속이 높은 25∼30 L/m2·h에서는 대칭형 SFCO 운전이 매우 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 침지형 정밀여과막(공칭공경 0.15㎛, CPVC)을 사용하여 에멀젼형 절삭유(MECOOL-7000, Megalube사) 수용액을 처리하였다. 막 오염을 효과적으로 감소시키기 위하여 대칭형 또는 비대칭형의 사인파형 투과유속 연속운전(Sinusoidal flux continuous operation; SFCO) 실험을 실시하였다. 분리막의 투과유속이 증가함에 따라서 막간차압이 증가하였으나, 대칭형 운전방식이 비대칭형 운전방식에 비하여 막간차압이 낮게 형성되어 막오염 제어에 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

에멀젼은 섞이지 않은 두 물질을 분산시스템으로 혼합시켜 놓은 것이다. 에멀젼의 점도에 영향을 미치는 인자는 유화입자 크기, 연속상 및 분산상 종류, 연속상과 분산상의 비, 유화제 종류 및 유화기기 등 다양한 요소들이 있다. 본 연구에서는 오일 극성도에 따라 에멀젼의 점도 변화를 관찰하였고 이를 유기개념도를 이용하여 해석하였다. 탄화수소계, 에스테르계 및 실리콘계 오일을 사용하여 에멀젼을 제조하여 점도를 측정하였다. 오일 극성도가 높을수록 계면에 위치하는 유화제 및 유화안정제의 양이 적어지기 때문에 점도는 감소하였다. 극성 오일간 극성도를 수치적으로 비교하기 위해 유기개념도 이용하였으며 유기개념도상의 해석과 에멀젼의 점도 측정 결과가 실리콘 오일을 제외하고는 모두 일치하였다.

다양한 화장품에 응용을 위하여 제주산 유채오일 추출물을 대상으로 PIT유화시스템을 이용한 나노에멀젼을 제조하였다. 천연 유채오일 추출물은 n-헥산을 용매로 사용하여 추출하였다. 천연유채오일 추출물은 엷은 노란색의 점성을 가진 액체이었고, 수율은 43±2.5%이었다. 산가는 2.76±0.5이었고, 비중은 0.89±0.05 이었다. 20wt%의 유채오일을 사용한 PIT-Yuche-NE의 입자크기는 50-120nm (평균입자크기: 82±5.8nm)이었고, 제타 포텐셜은 -29.5mV 이었다. 이것은 (PEG)5-30 지방산 에테르를 사용하기 때문에 열역학적으로 안정하였다. 특징적인 결과로부터 얻은 몇 개의 결론을 다음과 같이 나열하였다. 첫째, DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical)방법을 이용한 자유 라디칼 소거력을 측정하였다.

The effects of HLB value of nonionic mixed surfactants on the stability and antifoaming ability for silicon oil type emulsions were studied. To obtain a stable silicone emulsions, a higher HLB values and higher content of surfactants were preferred. To obtain a good antifoaming ability, however, a lower HLB value (more hydrophobic) and a lower content of the surfactants were preferred. It was observed, at lower HLB values(8 or 9), that the silicone oil drops were spreaded on the foam surface and effectively reduced the surface tension. And the spreading phenomena presumably acted as an antifoaming mechanism. Therefore, a higher hydrophobicity of the silicone oil emulsion resulted in a higher ability of antifoaming action.
