This document discusses emulsions, including their introduction, types, emulsifying agents, methods of preparation, tests for emulsion types, stability, phase inversion, and breaking. An emulsion is a dispersion of small liquid globules within another immiscible liquid, classified as oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions. Emulsions are stabilized using emulsifying agents like carbohydrates, proteins, alcohols, or surfactants. Their stability depends on factors like interfacial film properties, electrical barriers, viscosity, droplet size distribution, and temperature. Phase inversion can occur by changing the order of addition, emulsifier properties, or phase ratios.
This is the pdf of Emulsions, types, emulsifying agent and stability of emulsions.
Definition:-The emulsion is a biphasic liquid preparation containing two immiscible liquids one of which is dispersed as minute globules into the other with the help of an emulsifying agent.
The liquid that is broken up into globules is called the dispersed phase & the liquid in which the globules are dispersed is known as the continuous phase.
Types of emulsion:
They are two types
1. Oil in water:-
In the O/w type, oil is a dispersed phase & water is the continuous phase. In oil in water type, oil is surrounded by water. So the unpleasant taste & odor of the oil is masked. Therefore o/w type of emulsion is preferable for internal use.
2. Water in oil type:-
In w/o type water is the dispersed phase & oil is in the continuous phase. In w/o type, water is surrounded by oil. So application on the skin may be easier. Therefore w/o type of emulsion is preferable for external use.
Examples for natural emulsion:
Milk is an example for o/w emulsion. Butter is an example for w/o emulsion.
Emulsifying agent/ surfactants
Surfactants are materials get adsorbed at the interface between the two phases. The surface adsorption lowers or decreases the tension between the two phases. It causes the inter mix of the phases with each other. Hence to reduce surface tension surfactants are used.
They are classified as follows:
1. Natural Emulgents from vegetable sources: These are anionic in nature & produce o/w type emulsions. They act as primary emulgents & stabilizers. Ex: acacia, tragacanth, agar, pectin
2. Natural emulsifying agents from animal sources:
a) Gelatin: It occurs in two forms Pharmagol A- used in acidic PH Pharmagol B-used in alkaline PH
b) Egg Yolk
c) Wool Fat
3. Semi synthetic polysaccharides: These produce o/w type of emulsion
Ex: Methyl cellulose, sodium CMC
4. Synthetic Emulgents:
a) Anionic: Its anionic part is responsible for emulsifying activity.
Ex: - Soaps & sodium lauryl sulphate
b) Cationic: Its cationic part is responsible for emulsification. Ex: - Cetrimide, Benzalkonium chloride.
They produce o/w type emulsion.
c) Non-Ionic: They do not ionize in aqueous solution. These are stable at wide range of pH & are not affected by addition of acids & electrolytes.
5. In-organic Emulgents: Ex: - Milk of magnesia, magnesium oxide, magnesium aluminium silicate & bentonite.
6. Alcohols: Ex: - Cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, glycerol mono- stearate. Carbo waxes.
Stability of Emulsions:
1. Creaming:
Creaming is defined as the upward movement of the dispersed phase towards the surface and forms a thick layer at the surface of the emulsion.
2. Sedimentation:
Definition: It is defined as the downward movement of the dispersed phase towards the bottom & forms a separate layer over the sediment particles.
3. Cracking:
Cracking can be defined as the separation of the dispersed phase and continuous phase as two separate layers. They cannot be re-dispersed on shaking.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.

Emulsion Breaking
General Guidelines
3. An emulsion is a dispersion in which the dispersed
phase is composed of small globules of a liquid
distributed throughout a vehicle in which it is
immiscible.
Introduction
EMULSIONS
4. Based on dispersed phase
Oil in Water (O/W): Oil droplets dispersed in water
Water in Oil (W/O): Water droplets dispersed in oil
Classification of emulsions :
Based on size of liquid droplets
0.2 – 50 mm Macroemulsions (Kinetically Stable)
0.01 – 0.2 mm Microemulsions (Thermodynamically Stable)
5. Emulsions encountered in everyday life!
Metal cutting oils Margarine Ice cream
Pesticide Asphalt Skin cream
Stability of emulsions may be engineered to vary from
seconds to years depending on application
7. Theories of Emulsification:
1) Surface Tension Theory:
- lowering of interfacial tension.
2) Oriented-Wedge Theory:
- mono molecular layers of emulsifying agents
are curved around a droplet of the internal
phase of the emulsion.
3) Interfacial film theory:
- A film of emulsifying agent prevents the
contact and coslescing of the dispersed
phase.
8. Emulsifying Agents:
It is a substance which stabilizes an emulsion .
Pharmaceutically acceptable emulsifiers must also :
be stable .
be compatible with other ingredients .
be non – toxic .
possess little odor , taste , or color .
not interfere with the stability of efficacy of the
active agent .
11. Methods of Preparation of Emulsions:
1) Continental or Dry Gum Method:
"4:2:1" Method
4 parts (volumes) of oil
2 parts of water
1 part of gum
12. 2) English or wet Gum Method:
4 parts (volumes) of oil
2 parts of water
1 part of gum
13. 3) Bottle or Forbes Bottle Method:
useful for extemporaneous preparation of emulsion
from volatile oils or oleaginous substance of low
viscosity.
powdered acacia
+ Dry bottle
2 parts of oil
This method is not suitable for viscous oils (i.e. high
viscosity oil).
14. Emulsion Type and Means of Detection:
Tests for Emulsion Type (W/O or O/W emulsions)
1) Dilution Test:
- o/w emulsion can be diluted with water.
- w/o emulsion can be diluted with oil.
2) Conductivity Test:
Continuous phase water > Continuous phase oil.
15. 4) Refractive index measurement
5) Filter paper test
3) Dye-Solubility Test:
- water soluble dye will dissolve in the aqueous
phase.
- oil soluble dye will dissolve in the oil phase.
16. Emulsions are Kinetically Stable!
Rate of coalescence – measure of emulsion stability.
It depends on:
(a) Physical nature of the interfacial surfactant film
For Mechanical stability, surfactant films are characterized
by strong lateral intermolecular forces and high elasticity
(Analogous to stable foam bubbles)
17. (b) Electrical or steric barrier
Significant only in O/W emulsions.
In case of non-ionic emulsifying agents, charge may arise due to
(i) adsorption of ions from the aqueous phase or
(ii) contact charging (phase with higher dielectric constant is
charged positively)
No correlation between droplet charge and emulsion stability in
W/O emulsions
Steric barrier – dehydration and change in hydrocarbon chain
conformation.
18. (c) Viscosity of the continuous phase
(many emulsion are more stable in concentrated form than when
diluted.)
Viscosity may be increased by adding natural or synthetic
thickening agents.
19. (d) Size distribution of droplets
Emulsion with a fairly uniform size distribution is more stable
(e) Phase volume ratio
As volume of dispersed phase stability of emulsion
(eventually phase inversion can occur)
(f) Temperature
Temperature , usually emulsion stability
Temp affects – Interfacial tension, D, solubility of surfactant,
viscosity of liquid, phases of interfacial film.
20. Inversion of Emulsions (Phase inversion)
O/W W/O
1. The order of addition of the phases
W O + emulsifier W/O
O W + emulsifier O/W
2. Nature of emulsifier
Making the emulsifier more oil soluble tends to produce a
W/O emulsion and vice versa.
3. Phase volume ratio
Oil/Water ratio W/O emulsion and vice versa
21. 4. Temperature of the system
Temperature of O/W makes the emulsifier more
hydrophobic and the emulsion may invert to W/O.
5. Addition of electrolytes and other additives.
Strong electrolytes to O/W (stabilized by ionic
surfactants) may invert to W/O
Example. Inversion of O/W emulsion (stabilized by
sodium cetyl sulfate and cholesterol) to a W/O type
upon addition of polyvalent Ca.
22. Separation of the internal phase from the external
phase is called BREAKING of the emulsion. This is
irreversible.
Protect emulsions against the extremes of cold and
heat.
Emulsions may be adversely affected by microbial
contamination.
Emulsion Breaking
23. General Guidelines:
1. Type of emulsion determined by the phase in which
emulsifier is placed.
2. Emulsifying agents that are preferentially oil soluble
form W/O emulsions and vice versa.
3. More polar the oil phase, the more hydrophilic the
emulsifier should be. More non-polar the oil phase more
lipophilic the emulsifier should be.
