Published: July 2003

A new equation for the relative viscosity of infinitely dilute emulsions of noncolloidal droplets is proposed using the analogy between shear modulus and shear viscosity. In the limit of capillary number -->0, the proposed equation reduces to the well-known Taylor viscosity law for infinitely dilute emulsions. Starting from the proposed equation for an infinitely dilute emulsion, new viscosity equations for concentrated emulsions are then developed using a differential scheme. The proposed equations for concentrated emulsions are evaluated in light of a large body of published experimental data on the viscosity of emulsions.

In this study, octenyl succinic acid sodium starch (OSAS) decorated with chitosan (CS) of different molecular weights (50-150 kDa) and concentrations (10-30 mg/mL) was used to stabilize an emulsion coencapsulating with vitamin A (V) and vitamin D (V). The effect of CS decoration on the thermal and UV stability of the emulsion, as well as the underlying mechanism, was elucidated. The incorporation of CS increased the retention rates of V and V by 11.
