Preparation f emulsion by Microfluidizer

고압유화장치를 이용한 emulsion의 제조

This study was investigated optimal conditions which were necessary to prepare emulsion of four component systems by the Microfluidizer. Squalane, isopropyl myristate, PPG-15 stearyl benzoate ester were used as an oil and POE(20) sorbitan monolaurate, POE(20) sorbitan monopalmitate, POE(20) sorbitan monostearate, glycerine were selected as a cosurfactant and surfactant. The emulsion was affected by the operating pressure, the recycle frequency and oil, surfactant, cosurfactant phase. The operating pressure and recycle frequency increased, the droplet diameter of emulsion decreased and was constant later. In this study, the optimal pressure and recycle frequency were 1400 bar, 4 cycles. The droplet size was the smallest when the concentration of glycerine was 30 wt.%. As the oil phase is increased, the size is increased.

고압유화 장치인 Microflridizer를 이용하여 4성분계의 emulsion을 제조하기 위한 최적조건을 알아보았다. Oil은 squalane, isopropyl myristate, PPG-15 stearyl benzoate ester를 사용하였으며, surfactant는 POE(20) sorbitan monolaurate, POE(20) sorbitan monopalmitate, POE(20) sorbitan monostearate를, cosuractant는 glycerine을 사용하여 Micro-fluidizer의 작업압력 및 순환횟수, oil의 종류 및 농도, cosurfactant의 농도에 따른 eumlsion의 상태를 비교하였다. 입자의 크기는 작업압력 및 순환횟수가 증가함에 따라 감소율이 점점 둔화되었으며 이 때의 적정압력은 1400bar 정도, 순환횟수는 4회 정도임을 알았다. 또한 cosurfactant인 glycerine의 농도가 30wt.%일 때 가장 작은 emulsion입자를 얻을 수 있었고, oil의 농도가 증가할수록 입자의 크기는 증가하는 현상을 나타내었다.
