Lauric oil nanoemulsion phase stabilization: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent particle size distributions in lipid-based carriers lead to phase separation and poor texture in plant-based formulations. Precise in-situ control of isethionate crystallization within the oil phase ensures structural stability and uniform delivery of plant-based jelly components.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Lauric oil nanoemulsion phase stabilization?

Unstable droplet size distribution

(3)evidences

Inconsistent particle sizes in fatty acyl compositions lead to phase separation and poor tactile properties. Achieving a narrow distribution ensures long-term physical stability and uniform active delivery.

High optical turbidity

(2)evidences

Lipid-based components in plant jellies often suffer from thermodynamic instability and coalescence. Preventing phase separation ensures uniform texture and shelf stability.
