Typical W/O emulsion


Typical W/O emulsion from edible oil is prepared by membrane emulsification using hydrophobic porous glass membrane. 
Single emulsifiers are added into continuous oil phase prior to penetration of water phase. Particle size of the emulsion thus obtained has a quite uniform distribution, and appearance of this W/O emulsion on photograph can not be distinguished from O/W one.
