They are known to impart desirable mouthfeel characteristics to the food, but, in addition, they are key ingredients in the formation of structures in certain products, such as whipped toppings and ice creams, and more complex products, such as processed cheeses. Therefore, the understanding of the formation, structures, and properties of emulsions is essential to the creation and stabilization of structures in foods. Food emulsions are widely used and are familiar to almost everyone. The formulation and creation of a food structure involving emulsions is always a compromise, depending on the desired qualities of the food and the materials which can be used to create these qualities.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>B. Types of Emulsion<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">An emulsion is a suspension of one phase in another in which it is immiscible. One of the phases exists as discrete droplets suspended in the second, continuous, phase, and there is an interfacial layer between the two phases which is occupied by some necessary surfactant material.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">There are four types of emulsions which are important, or potentially so, in foods.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">In oil-in-water (o\/w) emulsions, droplets of oil are suspended in an aqueous continuous phase. These are the most versatile of the emulsion types; they exist in many forms (mayonnaises, cream liqueurs, creamers, whippable toppings, ice cream mixes), and their properties can be controlled by varying both the surfactants used and the components present in the aqueous phase.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Water-in-oil (w\/o) emulsions are typified by butter, margarines, and fat-based spreads in general. These depend for their stability more on the properties of the fat or oil and the surfactant used than in the properties of the aqueous phase, and because of this, there are fewer parameters which can be varied to control their stability.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The third of the emulsion types is water-in-oil-in-water (w\/o\/w), which is, in effect, an o\/w emulsion whose droplets themselves contain water droplets (i.e., are w\/o emulsions). These are the most difficult emulsions to produce and control, because the water droplets contained in the oil droplets must be stable, as must the oil droplets contained in the continuous aqueous phase.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-236 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-98.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"178\" height=\"241\" \/>\r\n<div>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The fourth type of the emulsion is oil-in-water-in-oil (o\/w\/o) emulsion which is a double emulsion system in which the dispersed phase is an oil-in-water (o\/w) emulsion and the continuous phase is oil or plastic fat. Because of its limited application in food products, comparatively limited work has been done on the o\/w\/o emulsions.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-237 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-99.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"796\" height=\"547\" \/>\r\n<div><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-238 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-100.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"786\" height=\"212\" \/><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: justify;font-size: 1em\">For convenience of description, we may divide o\/w food emulsions into three classes, depending on how they are to be used. The first class contains emulsions which are end products in themselves. Coffee creamers and cream liqueurs are relatively simple emulsions whose only requirement is to remain stable toward creaming and coalescence during their shelf-life (which, however, may have to be considerable, so that sterility is also important). These emulsions present less of a challenge to the processor than do more complex emulsions; there are a few basic rules of formulation which allow successful products to be created. The second class of emulsions contains those which can be used as ingredients that participate in forming the structures of more complex products; that is, other components of the food (proteins, polysaccharides) form a matrix in which the fat globules are trapped or with which they interact. Examples are yogurts, processed cheeses, and other gelled systems containing emulsion droplets which must interact with other components in the food, but are not destabilized in the process. Their effect is to alter the rheological properties of the gel, thus creating texture and mouth feel. In the third class of emulsion, the droplets are required to create new structures during processing, such as in ice cream or whipped products, where the emulsion is destabilized and further interacts as a means of creating structure in the product. Some emulsions themselves may also form gels during heating, to create new structures within foods. The requirements for the compositions and properties of the emulsion droplets are different in these different cases. However, it is generally necessary for the emulsion droplets to interact with themselves and\/or with the other food components to give the required structures.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">EMULSIFYING AGENTS<\/strong><\/div>\r\n<div><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Emulsifying agents are soluble in fat and water to allow uniform dispersion of fat in water. Emulsifying agents are also called emulsifiers and present in the food like butter, mayonnaise and salad dressing. These have one hydrophilic and one lipophilic part. These agents surrounds the oil droplets in water and reduces the tension between the two liquids thus impart stability.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Classification of Emulsifying agents<\/strong><\/div>\r\n<div><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">These can be classified on the basis of chemical structure and mechanism of action. Under chemical structure category are synthetic, natural, auxiliary agents and finely dispersed solids. In the category of mechanism of action comes the monomolecular, multimolecular and solid particle films.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Natural emulsifying agents are derived from plant and animal tissues and mostly in the form of hydrated lypophilic colloids. These emulsifiers make the protective sheath around the droplets, give droplets a charge so that they repel each other and swell to step-up the viscosity of the liquid. Natural ones are derived from vegetables, animals, semi synthetic and synthetic agents. Although natural agents are inexpensive, safe and non toxic but these are slow in action. So large quantity of emulsifier is required for proper action. Also the natural emulsifiers need preservatives as these are subjected to microbial growth. The animal derivatives are stronger than the plant ones. The best example of this is lecithin and cholesterol. Some people are allergic to these so must be consumed after knowing the derivatives. Both semi-synthetic and synthetic emulsifying agents are strong and require no preservative as these are not prone to microbial growth.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Properties of emulsifying agents<\/strong><\/div>\r\n<div><\/div>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">An emulsifier consists of water soluble hydrophilic parts and water-insoluble, oil-soluble lipophilic parts within its. When an emulsifier is added to a mixture of water and oil, the emulsifier is arranged on the interface, anchoring its hydrophilic part into water and its lipophilic part into oil.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-239 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-101.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"198\" height=\"168\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: justify;font-size: 1em\">On the interface surface of water and air and of oil and air, the hydrophilic part and the lipophilic part are adsorbed and arranged around the interface. The interfacial tension is reduced by the emulsifier. That is, the force to separate the oil and water is thus weakened, resulting in the easily mixing of oil and water. There are many important properties of emulsifiers which are applicable in many foods.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">1.<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Surface Active Agent<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">When a water droplet is in the air, surface tension, a force to reduce the surface area acts on the surface of the water, resulting in spherical water droplets. When water and oil are present in a container, they do not mix together even after stirring and separate into two layers. When two immiscible substances are in contact, the contact surface is called interface. Interfacial tension, a kind of surface tension acts on the interface so that the two substances separate from each other. As interfacial tension increases, the force to separate two substances becomes stronger. Surfactant weaken interfacial tension and changes the properties of an interface. Events almost impossible under ordinary conditions are made possible by these effects. Interface is not only present between water and oil, but also in the boundary among various immiscible substances, and as foods are generally composed of carbohydrates, protein, fats and oils, water and air, they include many interfaces. Surfactant for food is called food emulsifier which distinguishes it from other surfactants for industrial use.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-240 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-102.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"414\" height=\"160\" \/>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>HLB<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The hydrophilicity and lipophilicity are different among emulsifiers, and the balance between the two is called HLB value. The value ranges from 0 to 20. An emulsifier with higher lipophilicity shows a lower HLB whereas higher hydrophilicity has high HLB, and the behaviors and functions to water depend on this HLB.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-241 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-103.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"243\" height=\"161\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: justify;font-size: 1em\">All compounds that have hydrophilic parts and lipophilic parts are not always useable as an emulsifier. when hydrophilicity is too great, such compounds disperse into water and the ones with great lipophilicity would disperse into oil. When the\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">hydrophilicity and lipophilicity are well-balanced, the emulsifier exhibits sufficient effects.<\/span><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">3.<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Micelle<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Because an emulsifier has opposite properties; hydrophilic and lipophilic, its solution does not become a simple aqueous solution but a colloidal solution, of which properties greatly vary depending on its concentration. In an extremely-diluted solution, there is no special change, but the emulsifier gathers on the interface and the surface tension is reduced as an increase of its concentration.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-242 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-104.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"213\" height=\"76\" \/>\r\n<div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As further increase of the concentration, a uniform mono molecular layer is made on the surface and the surface tension drops to the minimum. A further increase of the concentration causes micelle formation, micelles formation occurs when the excess molecules, in which the lipophilic groups are positioned face to face gather and there is no change in the surface tension. The concentration to start micelle formation is called critical micelle concentration (cmc) and the properties of the solution change greatly with a change of this concentration. Similar changes appears on the interface of oil and water , when the interfacial tension reaches the cmc point. When the concentration exceeds cmc, spherical micelles appear at first and disperse into water. A further increase in the concentration causes rod-shape micelles. Finally, lamellar micelles with higher structures called liquid crystal are produced.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-243 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-105.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"222\" height=\"94\" \/>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>4.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Solubilization<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When a small amount of insoluble substance is incorporated in an emulsifier micelle, semi-transparent solution is produced. This phenomenon is called solubilization.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Solid monoglyceride has a large capacity of crystallization which affects its performance. It also makes a liquid crystal which has intermediate characteristics between solid crystal and liquid. The form varies with the kind of emulsifier, temperature and its concentration. In practical use, it is-necessary to select a suitable emulsifier with consideration to conditions, including temperature and food constituents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-244 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-106.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"213\" height=\"126\" \/>\r\n<div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Functions of Emulsifying Agents<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The use of food emulsifier began with the production of margarine as monoglyceride and lecithin. These compounds were commonly called emulsifiers. After that quite different functions were found and emulsifiers have since been used in starchy foods such as breads, and dairy products like ice cream. Nowadays, emulsifiers are also used in Japanese-foods like Tofu and minced fish products.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Generally speaking, an emulsifier is as a compound with emulsifying effects, however, actually it has various functions. For example: To modify oil crystal and prevent water spattering in cooking. In ice cream, an emulsifier does not promote emulsification, but rather destroys emulsion to stabilize foam and to make a product with smooth texture and shape keeping property. In bread, an emulsifier reacts with proteins to make a smooth easy-rising dough with no relation to emulsification. It also acts on starch to make bread soft.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-245 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-107.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"687\" height=\"207\" \/>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-246 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-108.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"685\" height=\"438\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>1.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Emulsification<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Oil and water produce emulsion by stirring, however, the emulsion starts to break down immediately after stirring is stopped. The aim of emulsification is to stabilize emulsion by preventing break down. The break down of emulsion occurs due to creaming, aggregation and coalescence. To solve this, several measures have been taken, to decrease the size of dispersed particles, to reduce the density difference of dispersion and to protect the surface of oil droplets. There are two types of emulsion, O\/W emulsion or oil droplets in water, which can be found in ice cream and or milk, and W\/O emulsion or water droplets in oil, found in butter and margarine. Recently, developments of W\/O\/W type emulsion or water dispersed within oil droplets of O\/W type emulsion and O\/W\/O type, an opposite type emulsion have been progressing. These multiple type emulsions not only make low calorie items such as cream which contain less oil, but also stabilize the emulsion by dissolving the unstable substance present in the deepest region of water droplets. Taste can also be enhanced by injecting seasonings and flavors into the water droplets.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>2.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Dispersion<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Water-insoluble fine powder like cocoa is difficult to disperse as small lumps tends form on the surface interface. Powders gradually aggregate and precipitate even if dispersed by shaking. Maintaining suspension of such water insoluble fine powder is called dispersion. When the dispersing material is liquid, we call it emulsion. Cocoa drinks are produced by dispersing cocoa powder in water, and chocolate is made by dispersing it in oil. Emulsifier adsorbed on the surface of insoluble fine powder changes the particle surface to be\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">hydrophilic or lipophilic. The results of which produce stable water or fats and oils at the outer layer and stabilize suspension, by increasing the affinity to water or oil in the outer phase.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-247 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-109.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"216\" height=\"146\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>3.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Foaming<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Foaming ability is one of the major characteristics of emulsifiers. When a solution containing an emulsifier is stirred, the emulsifier is adsorbed on the surface of the produced foam to make a mono-molecular layer and the foam outside of the solution makes a bimolecular layer of the emulsifier.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The film surrounding a soap bubble is about 100 times thicker than a bimolecular layer, but a bubble breaks as soon as the migration of the liquid trapped between bimolecular films occurs. Foaming ability and stability, are important factors in the effects of an emulsifier. The foaming effects are utilized for the production of such items as cream. The addition of an emulsifier enables forming ability and stabilization action. Thus, smooth texture can be obtained as well as expanded volume. Typical cases of use are cakes, ice cream, moose, whipped topping, etc.<\/p>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-248 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-110.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"216\" height=\"156\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>4.\u00a0\u00a0 Defoaming<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Emulsifier also has form extinguishers, one is called anti-foaming and the other de-foaming. During food production, foaming may occur in the presence of protein, starch, etc. and an emulsifier with foam extinguishing action is used. Foam extinguish have the following properties;<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 water insoluble\r\n\r\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 floatable on the surface because of its small specific gravity\r\n\r\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 small surface tension and easy spreading on liquid surface\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">These properties easy lower the surface tension and so, the foam becomes thinner. As these agents spread easily on the liquid surface, all foam can be diminished. These are used in the productions of tofu, jam, and sugar as well as in the fermentation industry.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>5.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Wetting<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Wetting effects of emulsifier moisten the solid surfaces. Solid material is mixed with an emulsifier or its surface is spread with it, the surface then becomes hydrophilic. For example, chewing gum is apt to stick to teeth. Adhesion to natural teeth does not occur easily because the enamel is hydrophilic and always wet, whereas the adhesion to artificial teeth, occurs easily. We can prevent adhesion by wetting the surface of chewing gum by adding emulsifier.<\/p>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-249 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-111.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"221\" height=\"268\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>6.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Bacteriostatic effects<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Monoglycerides, polyglycerol esters of low molecular fatty acid have specific bacteriostatic effects, which can be use as a bacteriostatic agent.

This wheat flour &amp; water based dough is filled with carbon dioxide produced by fermentation and steam generated during baking, which produces raised bread. When the gluten content is small, the dough rises little. An emulsifier modifies gluten molecules and enhances its film-forming power resulting in good spreadability and improvement of working efficiency. Thus, easy-rising bread can be obtained.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>9.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Action on oils and fats<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When fats and oils form into crystal, an emulsifier promotes and inhibits the growth preventing the formation of abnormally crystal.

Although the number of possible ingredients is limited by the constraints of healthy nutrition, it is nevertheless evident that within the available range, there is a great deal of opportunity for variation in the properties of the emulsions\u2014for instance, the particle size and the composition of the stabilizing layer of the interface, which, in turn, influence the stability and functional behavior of the emulsion. On the\u00a0<span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">other hand, many emulsions used in foods have their roots in established formulations, and an understanding of why certain emulsions behave as they do is still not established in a number of cases.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>you can view video on EMULSIONS: PROPERTIES, TYPES AND EMULSIFYING AGENTS<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/JATICnpT6DA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-120\" src=\"http:\/\/epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/download.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Books &amp; Web resources<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Belitz, H.-D., Grosch, W and Schieberle, P.

They are known to impart desirable mouthfeel characteristics to the food, but, in addition, they are key ingredients in the formation of structures in certain products, such as whipped toppings and ice creams, and more complex products, such as processed cheeses. Therefore, the understanding of the formation, structures, and properties of emulsions is essential to the creation and stabilization of structures in foods. Food emulsions are widely used and are familiar to almost everyone. The formulation and creation of a food structure involving emulsions is always a compromise, depending on the desired qualities of the food and the materials which can be used to create these qualities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>B. Types of Emulsion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">An emulsion is a suspension of one phase in another in which it is immiscible. One of the phases exists as discrete droplets suspended in the second, continuous, phase, and there is an interfacial layer between the two phases which is occupied by some necessary surfactant material.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">There are four types of emulsions which are important, or potentially so, in foods.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">In oil-in-water (o\/w) emulsions, droplets of oil are suspended in an aqueous continuous phase. These are the most versatile of the emulsion types; they exist in many forms (mayonnaises, cream liqueurs, creamers, whippable toppings, ice cream mixes), and their properties can be controlled by varying both the surfactants used and the components present in the aqueous phase.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Water-in-oil (w\/o) emulsions are typified by butter, margarines, and fat-based spreads in general. These depend for their stability more on the properties of the fat or oil and the surfactant used than in the properties of the aqueous phase, and because of this, there are fewer parameters which can be varied to control their stability.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The third of the emulsion types is water-in-oil-in-water (w\/o\/w), which is, in effect, an o\/w emulsion whose droplets themselves contain water droplets (i.e., are w\/o emulsions). These are the most difficult emulsions to produce and control, because the water droplets contained in the oil droplets must be stable, as must the oil droplets contained in the continuous aqueous phase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-236 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-98.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"178\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-98.png 178w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-98-65x88.png 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 178px) 100vw, 178px\" \/><\/p>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">The fourth type of the emulsion is oil-in-water-in-oil (o\/w\/o) emulsion which is a double emulsion system in which the dispersed phase is an oil-in-water (o\/w) emulsion and the continuous phase is oil or plastic fat.

The first class contains emulsions which are end products in themselves. Coffee creamers and cream liqueurs are relatively simple emulsions whose only requirement is to remain stable toward creaming and coalescence during their shelf-life (which, however, may have to be considerable, so that sterility is also important). These emulsions present less of a challenge to the processor than do more complex emulsions; there are a few basic rules of formulation which allow successful products to be created. The second class of emulsions contains those which can be used as ingredients that participate in forming the structures of more complex products; that is, other components of the food (proteins, polysaccharides) form a matrix in which the fat globules are trapped or with which they interact. Examples are yogurts, processed cheeses, and other gelled systems containing emulsion droplets which must interact with other components in the food, but are not destabilized in the process. Their effect is to alter the rheological properties of the gel, thus creating texture and mouth feel. In the third class of emulsion, the droplets are required to create new structures during processing, such as in ice cream or whipped products, where the emulsion is destabilized and further interacts as a means of creating structure in the product. Some emulsions themselves may also form gels during heating, to create new structures within foods. The requirements for the compositions and properties of the emulsion droplets are different in these different cases. However, it is generally necessary for the emulsion droplets to interact with themselves and\/or with the other food components to give the required structures.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">EMULSIFYING AGENTS<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Emulsifying agents are soluble in fat and water to allow uniform dispersion of fat in water. Emulsifying agents are also called emulsifiers and present in the food like butter, mayonnaise and salad dressing. These have one hydrophilic and one lipophilic part. These agents surrounds the oil droplets in water and reduces the tension between the two liquids thus impart stability.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Classification of Emulsifying agents<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">These can be classified on the basis of chemical structure and mechanism of action. Under chemical structure category are synthetic, natural, auxiliary agents and finely dispersed solids. In the category of mechanism of action comes the monomolecular, multimolecular and solid particle films.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">Natural emulsifying agents are derived from plant and animal tissues and mostly in the form of hydrated lypophilic colloids. These emulsifiers make the protective sheath around the droplets, give droplets a charge so that they repel each other and swell to step-up the viscosity of the liquid. Natural ones are derived from vegetables, animals, semi synthetic and synthetic agents. Although natural agents are inexpensive, safe and non toxic but these are slow in action. So large quantity of emulsifier is required for proper action. Also the natural emulsifiers need preservatives as these are subjected to microbial growth. The animal derivatives are stronger than the plant ones. The best example of this is lecithin and cholesterol. Some people are allergic to these so must be consumed after knowing the derivatives. Both semi-synthetic and synthetic emulsifying agents are strong and require no preservative as these are not prone to microbial growth.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Properties of emulsifying agents<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">An emulsifier consists of water soluble hydrophilic parts and water-insoluble, oil-soluble lipophilic parts within its. When an emulsifier is added to a mixture of water and oil, the emulsifier is arranged on the interface, anchoring its hydrophilic part into water and its lipophilic part into oil.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-239 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-101.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"198\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-101.png 198w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-101-65x55.png 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"text-align: justify;font-size: 1em\">On the interface surface of water and air and of oil and air, the hydrophilic part and the lipophilic part are adsorbed and arranged around the interface. The interfacial tension is reduced by the emulsifier. That is, the force to separate the oil and water is thus weakened, resulting in the easily mixing of oil and water. There are many important properties of emulsifiers which are applicable in many foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">1.<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Surface Active Agent<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 1em\">When a water droplet is in the air, surface tension, a force to reduce the surface area acts on the surface of the water, resulting in spherical water droplets. When water and oil are present in a container, they do not mix together even after stirring and separate into two layers. When two immiscible substances are in contact, the contact surface is called interface. Interfacial tension, a kind of surface tension acts on the interface so that the two substances separate from each other. As interfacial tension increases, the force to separate two substances becomes stronger. Surfactant weaken interfacial tension and changes the properties of an interface. Events almost impossible under ordinary conditions are made possible by these effects. Interface is not only present between water and oil, but also in the boundary among various immiscible substances, and as foods are generally composed of carbohydrates, protein, fats and oils, water and air, they include many interfaces. Surfactant for food is called food emulsifier which distinguishes it from other surfactants for industrial use.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-240 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-102.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"414\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-102.png 414w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-102-300x116.png 300w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-102-65x25.png 65w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-102-225x87.png 225w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-102-350x135.png 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>HLB<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The hydrophilicity and lipophilicity are different among emulsifiers, and the balance between the two is called HLB value.

A further increase of the concentration causes micelle formation, micelles formation occurs when the excess molecules, in which the lipophilic groups are positioned face to face gather and there is no change in the surface tension. The concentration to start micelle formation is called critical micelle concentration (cmc) and the properties of the solution change greatly with a change of this concentration. Similar changes appears on the interface of oil and water , when the interfacial tension reaches the cmc point. When the concentration exceeds cmc, spherical micelles appear at first and disperse into water. A further increase in the concentration causes rod-shape micelles.

These compounds were commonly called emulsifiers. After that quite different functions were found and emulsifiers have since been used in starchy foods such as breads, and dairy products like ice cream. Nowadays, emulsifiers are also used in Japanese-foods like Tofu and minced fish products.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Generally speaking, an emulsifier is as a compound with emulsifying effects, however, actually it has various functions. For example: To modify oil crystal and prevent water spattering in cooking. In ice cream, an emulsifier does not promote emulsification, but rather destroys emulsion to stabilize foam and to make a product with smooth texture and shape keeping property. In bread, an emulsifier reacts with proteins to make a smooth easy-rising dough with no relation to emulsification. It also acts on starch to make bread soft.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-245 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-107.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"687\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-107.png 687w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-107-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-107-65x20.png 65w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-107-225x68.png 225w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-107-350x105.png 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-246 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-108.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"685\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-108.png 685w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-108-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-108-65x42.png 65w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-108-225x144.png 225w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-108-350x224.png 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Emulsification<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Oil and water produce emulsion by stirring, however, the emulsion starts to break down immediately after stirring is stopped. The aim of emulsification is to stabilize emulsion by preventing break down. The break down of emulsion occurs due to creaming, aggregation and coalescence. To solve this, several measures have been taken, to decrease the size of dispersed particles, to reduce the density difference of dispersion and to protect the surface of oil droplets. There are two types of emulsion, O\/W emulsion or oil droplets in water, which can be found in ice cream and or milk, and W\/O emulsion or water droplets in oil, found in butter and margarine. Recently, developments of W\/O\/W type emulsion or water dispersed within oil droplets of O\/W type emulsion and O\/W\/O type, an opposite type emulsion have been progressing. These multiple type emulsions not only make low calorie items such as cream which contain less oil, but also stabilize the emulsion by dissolving the unstable substance present in the deepest region of water droplets. Taste can also be enhanced by injecting seasonings and flavors into the water droplets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Dispersion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Water-insoluble fine powder like cocoa is difficult to disperse as small lumps tends form on the surface interface. Powders gradually aggregate and precipitate even if dispersed by shaking. Maintaining suspension of such water insoluble fine powder is called dispersion. When the dispersing material is liquid, we call it emulsion. Cocoa drinks are produced by dispersing cocoa powder in water, and chocolate is made by dispersing it in oil. Emulsifier adsorbed on the surface of insoluble fine powder changes the particle surface to be\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">hydrophilic or lipophilic. The results of which produce stable water or fats and oils at the outer layer and stabilize suspension, by increasing the affinity to water or oil in the outer phase.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-247 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-109.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"216\" height=\"146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-109.png 216w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-109-65x44.png 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Foaming<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Foaming ability is one of the major characteristics of emulsifiers. When a solution containing an emulsifier is stirred, the emulsifier is adsorbed on the surface of the produced foam to make a mono-molecular layer and the foam outside of the solution makes a bimolecular layer of the emulsifier.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The film surrounding a soap bubble is about 100 times thicker than a bimolecular layer, but a bubble breaks as soon as the migration of the liquid trapped between bimolecular films occurs. Foaming ability and stability, are important factors in the effects of an emulsifier. The foaming effects are utilized for the production of such items as cream. The addition of an emulsifier enables forming ability and stabilization action. Thus, smooth texture can be obtained as well as expanded volume. Typical cases of use are cakes, ice cream, moose, whipped topping, etc.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-248 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-110.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"216\" height=\"156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-110.png 216w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-110-65x47.png 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>4.\u00a0\u00a0 Defoaming<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Emulsifier also has form extinguishers, one is called anti-foaming and the other de-foaming. During food production, foaming may occur in the presence of protein, starch, etc. and an emulsifier with foam extinguishing action is used. Foam extinguish have the following properties;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 water insoluble<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 floatable on the surface because of its small specific gravity<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 small surface tension and easy spreading on liquid surface<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">These properties easy lower the surface tension and so, the foam becomes thinner. As these agents spread easily on the liquid surface, all foam can be diminished. These are used in the productions of tofu, jam, and sugar as well as in the fermentation industry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Wetting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Wetting effects of emulsifier moisten the solid surfaces. Solid material is mixed with an emulsifier or its surface is spread with it, the surface then becomes hydrophilic. For example, chewing gum is apt to stick to teeth. Adhesion to natural teeth does not occur easily because the enamel is hydrophilic and always wet, whereas the adhesion to artificial teeth, occurs easily. We can prevent adhesion by wetting the surface of chewing gum by adding emulsifier.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-249 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ftp03.epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-111.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"221\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-111.png 221w, https:\/\/ebooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/ftp03\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2018\/07\/1-111-65x79.png 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 221px) 100vw, 221px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Bacteriostatic effects<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Monoglycerides, polyglycerol esters of low molecular fatty acid have specific bacteriostatic effects, which can be use as a bacteriostatic agent.

This wheat flour &amp; water based dough is filled with carbon dioxide produced by fermentation and steam generated during baking, which produces raised bread. When the gluten content is small, the dough rises little. An emulsifier modifies gluten molecules and enhances its film-forming power resulting in good spreadability and improvement of working efficiency. Thus, easy-rising bread can be obtained.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>9.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Action on oils and fats<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">When fats and oils form into crystal, an emulsifier promotes and inhibits the growth preventing the formation of abnormally crystal.

Although the number of possible ingredients is limited by the constraints of healthy nutrition, it is nevertheless evident that within the available range, there is a great deal of opportunity for variation in the properties of the emulsions\u2014for instance, the particle size and the composition of the stabilizing layer of the interface, which, in turn, influence the stability and functional behavior of the emulsion. On the\u00a0<span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">other hand, many emulsions used in foods have their roots in established formulations, and an understanding of why certain emulsions behave as they do is still not established in a number of cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>you can view video on EMULSIONS: PROPERTIES, TYPES AND EMULSIFYING AGENTS<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/JATICnpT6DA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-120\" src=\"http:\/\/epgpbooks.inflibnet.ac.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/download.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Books &amp; Web resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Belitz, H.-D., Grosch, W and Schieberle, P.
