Abstract
When lipophilic molecules are solubilized in oil/water (O/W) emulsion, normally employed techniques are to dissolve lipophilic molecules in oil, and then to prepare the O/W emulsion. In this study, we tried to put lipophilic crystals into O/W emulsion, then to solubilize lipophilic crystals in oil droplets of O/W emulsion. We examined the dependence of the particle size and temperature for the solubilization kinetics of this system.
