Polyelectrolytes such as dextran sulfate (DSS), protamine (PRM) or poly-L-arginine all fulfill these requirements and may be used as a capsule with an emulsion inside. [22] Oil in water emulsions are currently used as safe solvents for vaccines. [23] It is important that these emulsion are stable and remain so for long periods of time ...
An emulsifier is a substance that stabilizes an emulsion by reducing the oil-water interface tension. Emulsifiers are a part of a broader group of compounds known as surfactants , or "surface-active agents". [ 21 ]
Modified starches are used in practically all starch applications, such as in food products as a thickening agent, stabilizer or emulsifier; in pharmaceuticals as a disintegrant; or as binder in coated paper. They are also used in many other applications. [2] Starches are modified to enhance their performance in different applications.
Emulsion polymerization: Polymerization whereby monomer(s), initiator, dispersion medium, and possibly colloid stabilizer constitute initially an inhomogeneous system resulting in particles of colloidal dimensions containing the formed polymer. Note: With the exception of mini-emulsion polymerization, the term “emulsion polymerization”
Pectin is used as a stabiliser in foods such as yogurt. A stabiliser or stabilizer is an additive to food which helps to preserve its structure. Typical uses include preventing oil-water emulsions from separating in products such as salad dressing; preventing ice crystals from forming in frozen food such as ice cream; and preventing fruit from settling in products such as jam, yogurt and jellies.
A Ramsden emulsion, sometimes named Pickering emulsion, is an emulsion that is stabilized by solid particles (for example colloidal silica) which adsorb onto the interface between the water and oil phases. Typically, the emulsions are either water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions, but other more complex systems such as water-in-water, oil-in ...
Agar – thickener, vegetable gum, stabilizer, gelling agent; Alcohol – Alfalfa – Alginic acid – thickener, vegetable gum, stabilizer, gelling agent, emulsifier; Alitame – artificial sweetener; Alkaline treated starch – thickener, vegetable gum; Alkanet – color (red) Allspice – Allura red AC – color (FDA: FD&C Red #40)
In industrial chemistry, a stabilizer or stabiliser is a chemical that is used to prevent degradation. [1] Above all, heat and light stabilizers are added to plastic and rubber materials because they ensure safe processing and protect products against aging and weathering.
