Extraction and Formulation of Oil in Water (O/W) Emulsion with Coco Plum (Chrysobalanus icaco) Seed Oil: Physicochemical and Microbiological Evaluations
Abstract:The emulsion instability and macroscopic phase separation of oil in water (O/W) emulsion have become a significant concern globally as it poses lots of threat to human skin. Several mechanisms involved in emulsion instability include the rupture of oil globules or coalescence of the internal water droplets. The present study aimed to formulate oil in water (O/W) emulsion by entrapping 5% of cocoplum oil extract in increasing order (0,10,15 and 20) into the oil phase of the emulsion. The base form contains the … Show more
