Synthetic Emulsifiers

Synthetic E.As. cannot be used in externally applied emulsions

Synthetic E.As. can only give O/W emulsions

The ratio of hydrophilic to lipophilic groups in synthetic E.As. can be altered to give a wide range of E.As. (correct)

Synthetic E.As. are easily decomposed by microorganisms

Neither O/W nor W/O emulsions

Only O/W emulsions

Only W/O emulsions

Both O/W and W/O emulsions (correct)

None of the above

Only a limited number of synthetic agents such as spans, tweens, and glyceryl monostearate are safe for internal use (correct)

Only natural gums are safe for internal use

All synthetic emulsifiers are safe for internal use
