2.1.3. Emulsions stabilized by gel particles
The fine gel particle suspensions produced via the jet homogenizer
containing 6.25 wt% SPI or LMW-SPI were diluted with
appropriate amount of deionized water and then mixed with corn
oil at a weight ratio of 8:2 aqueous: oil. The mixtures were preliminarily
homogenized by a hand blender (Rosso hand Blender,
Russell Hobbs, UK) for 2 min at ambient temperature to make
coarse emulsions. These emulsions were then subjected to jet homogenization
under the same conditions as described above.
