Emulsions can be formed using various techniques, each with its own advantages and limitations:
- High-Shear Mixing: This involves using high-speed mixers to break down the droplets into smaller sizes. - Ultrasonication: High-frequency sound waves are used to agitate the liquid and form fine emulsions. - Microfluidization: This technique forces the emulsion through a narrow channel at high pressure, producing very fine droplets.
