Globule size analysis for freshly prepared O/W emulsions stabilized by various emulsifying agents was conducted so as to compare the emulsifying capacity of a high pressure homogenizer (H. P. HOMO) with those of the other equipment such as a homomixer (HOMO) and ultrasonic homogenizer (U. S. HOMO).
The comparison was also made with a method for providing the fine globule O/W emulsions proposed by Sagitani and his co-workers.
The results obtained are as follows :
(1) Finer globules with of narrower size distribution could be detected better by emulsification using H. P. HOMO than by any other method.
(2) The neccessary amounts of emulsifying agents for obtaining stable O/W emulsions could be reduced by applying the method of H. P. HOMO.
(3) This method broadens the scope application of emulsifying agents including certain biological components such as phospholipids and saponins.
