The determination of the hydrophile‐lipophile balance (HLB) values of nonionic emulsifiers by a gas chromatographic method is described. Factors that affect this correlation have been examined. Attempts to extend this method to the determination of the required HLB values of fats and oils are presented. These data along with supplementary wet methods have been used to determine optimum conditions for emulsion stability of simple model systems (fat‐wateremulsifier).
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.
