7. What is an Emulsifier?
An emulsifier is a molecule consisting of a hydrophilic and a
hydrophobic
(lipophilic part)
The hydrophobic part of the emulsifier may consist of a fatty acid
The hydrophilic part of the emulsifier may consist of glycerol, possibly
esterified
with acetic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid or citric acid
Hydrophilic part Hydrophobic part
7
8. Functions of Emulsifiers
• Emulsion
– Stabilisation
– Destabilisation
• Starch & hydrocolloid interaction
• Protein interaction
• Crystal modification of fats
• Viscosity reducing
• Antifog, antistatic and mould release
8
9. Estimation of Function in High Sugar Systems
HLB Value?
• Hydrophilic-lipophilic balance
• Griffin's method
• Griffin's method for non-ionic surfactants as
described in 1954 works as follows:
• HLB = 20 * Mh / M
• where Mh is the molecular mass of the
hydrophilic portion of the Molecule, and M is
the molecular mass of the whole
molecule, giving a result on an arbitrary scale
of 0 to 20. An HLB value of 0 corresponds to a
completely hydrophobic molecule, and a
value of 20 would correspond to a molecule
made up completely of hydrophilic
components.

11. Drop Shape Analyser (DSA) Sugars Solution
Pending drop - Shape of drop depends on the density
difference between the two phases and the interfacial tension. Vegetable fat
From this it is possible to estimate interfacial tension – IFT

12. Complicated by Phase Behaviour
In literature a lot of information
for emulsifiers and water
None on high sugar systems
or high salt systems
Can we make it easier?

29. Enhanced effect of Emulsifiers with Milk Proteins
• So we are in effect measuring the affect of the emulsifier on 5% fat -
below the amount for minimum effective dose to keep stable system with
our separation
Based on our information for fat holding capacity we should need
CITREM LR 10 = 0.185 %
Mono & Diglycerides = 0.540 %
Distilled Mono-glycerides = 2.500 %
• All of these amounts were succesful so a series of dilutions were carried
out and it was found
• CITREM LR 10 = 0.05 % 3.7 X more effective
Mono & Diglycerides = 0.28 % 1.9 X more effective
Distilled Mono-glycerides = 0.28 % 8.9 X more effective
• Stabilsing effect of milk proteins
29
30. What are the possible advantages
Selecting an emulsifier for?
Larger droplet size or broad distribution could reduce
stickiness
Fine droplet size give brighter whiter shading
Viscosity of syrup & vegetable oil system depends on
Sugars solids & droplet size
Prevent oiling out / oil separation in systems
– like caramels

solid surfaces and the solvent

bloom formation

Characterization of flow and visco Technical specifications:
elasticity
• Texture changes as a function of – Flow curves
temperature e. g. setting of pectin – Stress/ Strain sweeps
• Texture changes as a function of – Dynamic viscosity
time e.g. enzyme activity – Stress relaxation
• Texture changes simulated for
process conditions e.g.
fermentation processes
• Yield point ex. stabilisation of
emulsions and suspensions
• Flow properties e.g. mouthfeel
