Basic mathematical models are suggested for calculating the concentration of preservatives which is chemically available in the water of emulsions. It is influenced by the total concentration of preservative in the emulsion, the oil: water partition coefficient of the preservative, the oil: water ratio and the concentration of emulgent. The activity of the preservative is related to the concentration free in the water.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
