ABSTRACT

 

Rheological properties of highly concentrated oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions (HCEs), formed by mixing palm-based nonionic surfactant, C12E6 (HLB = 11.7, CMC = 25μM), water and olive oil volume fraction ≥78vol% were investigated. Samples with lower oil volume fraction (<85%) and surfactant concentration (<8%) exhibited polydispersity of broader droplet size distribution (DSD). In contrast, samples with higher oil volume fraction (>85%) and surfactant concentration (>8%) displayed monodispersity of narrower DSD. The average droplet size decreased with increasing oil volume fraction and surfactant concentration. All frequency sweep experiments exhibited higher G’ than G”, representing the predominantly elastic nature of HCEs. The crossover of the ascendant and descendant flow curves of HCEs with higher oil volume fraction (>85%) and surfactant concentration (>8%) implied a structural build-up that could give rise to very high stability. The high stability was confirmed through accelerated stability test at 40oC for three months.

  ABSTRAK

 

Sifat-sifat reologi emulsi berkepekatan tinggi minyak-dalam-air (HCE) yang dihasilkan melalui pencampuran surfaktan nonionic berasaskan sawit, C12E6 (HLB = 11.7, CMC = 25μM), air dan minyak zaitun dengan pecahan isipadu minyak ≥78vol% telah dikaji. Sampel-sampel dengan pecahan isipadu minyak <85% dan kepekatan surfaktan <8% menunjukkan distribusi saiz titisan (DSD) yang lebih luas. Sebaliknya, sampel-sampel dengan pecahan isipadu minyak >85% dan kepekatan surfaktan >8% menunjukkan DSD yang lebih sempit. Purata saiz titisan menurun apabila pecahan isipadu minyak dan kepekatan surfaktan meningkat. Kesemua eksperimen imbasan frekuensi menghasilkan G’ yang lebih tinggi daripada G”, menunjukkan sifat elastik HCE yang lebih ketara. Persilangan garisan-garisan menaik dan menurun lengkungan alir dengan pecahan isipadu minyak >85% dan kepekatan surfaktan >8% mengimplikasikan kestabilan struktur yang sangat tinggi. Kestabilan yang tinggi disahkan menerusi ujian kestabilan yang dijalankan pada 40oC selama tiga bulan.

 

Kata kunci: Emulsion berkepekatan tinggi minyak-dalam-air; surfaktan nonionik berasaskan sawit;  reologi
