Study Notes
Emulsion Types
- Water-in-oil emulsion: internal phase is water, external phase is oil.
Microemulsions
- Globule size range: 10-100 nm.
- Advantage: suitable for drug administration due to enhanced bioavailability and solubilization of hydrophobic drugs.
Multiple Emulsion Systems
- Advantage: suitable for oral, topical, and parenteral administration due to versatility and controlled release.
Emulsion Structure
- Water-in-oil emulsion: small water droplets enclosed within larger oil droplets.
- Oil-in-water emulsion: small oil droplets enclosed within larger water droplets, then dispersed in oil.
