Fig. 2 shows a typical plot of conductivity (mS/cm) vs time (min) for corn oil in water emulsion using egg white, as emulsifier, with a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml, for several oil volume fractions (OVF). The data were fit to the sigmoid function, Eq. (3). In general, the conductivity vs time curve for egg white-stabilized edible oil emulsions is characterized by a short period (lag time) where the conductivity of an emulsion remains essentially equal to that during the homogenization period. This metastable condition soon diminishes once flocculation and creaming phenomena take place. The latter events are manifested by an increase in conductivity values that show a non-linear concave up slope. Finally, a phase separation takes place, which is manifested by a steady-state plateau value.
