Physicochemical properties of a ternary system based on medium chain triglycerides/water/mixed nonionic sugar-based surfactants

Equal ratios of medium chainlength triglycerides and water were emulsified with 5% w/w of mixed nonionic surfactants with various hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values. The HLB numbers ranged from 15 to 6.6. Emulsifiers with HLB numbers 15, 14.2, 13.3, and 12.5 produced low viscosity milk-like...
