Pharmaceutical
excipients used in the
formulation of Emulsion
Definition:
An emulsion is a two phase system prepared by combining
two immiscible liquids, one of which uniformly dispersed
throughout the other and consists of globules that have
diameters equal to or greater than those of the largest
colloidal particles
Ideal Properties of an emulsion:
 It should able to reduce the interfacial tension
between the two immiscible liquids
 It should be physically and chemically stable inert
 It should be non irritant and non toxic in the
concentration used
 It should be able to produce and maintain the
required viscosity of the preparation.
 It should prevent the coalescence of the droplet
of the dispersed phase
Types of emulsion
 Simple-
i. Oil-in-water (O/W)
ii. Water-in-oil (W/O)
 Multiple emulsion-
i. Oil-in-water-in-oil (O/W/O)
ii. Water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W)
 Micro emulsion-
Clear transparent solutions. Particle size ranges from 10-200nm
Why do we prefer emulsion?
Excipients
Excipients are substances other than the active pharmaceutical
ingredient (API) that have been appropriately evaluated for safety and
are intentionally included in a drug delivery system.
Ideal Properties of excipient
 No interaction with drug
 Physical and chemical
stability
 Non toxic and non irritant
 Cost effective
 Pharmacologically and
physiologically inert
 No interference with drug
bioavailability
 Should be effective at low
concentration
Excipients are used in emulsion production:
 Emulsifying agent
 Antioxidant
 Buffering agent
 Preservative
 Solvent
 Co-solvent
 Flavoring agent
 Vehicle
 Antimicrobial agent
Emulsifying agent
An emulsifier is a substance that stabilizes an emulsion
by increasing its kinetic stability. One class of
emulsifiers is known as "surface active agents", or
surfactants.
Why are they added in emulsion?
To prevent the coalescence of globules of dispersed
phase
They help In formation of emulsion by three
mechanisms:
 Reduction in interfacial tension
 Formation of a rigid interfacial film
 Formation of an electrical double layer
Examples:
• Glyceryl behenate
• Glyceryl monooleate
• Glyceryl stearate
• Hectorite
Glyceryl stearate
Antioxidant
An antioxidant is a molecule that inhibits the oxidation of other
molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that can produce free
radicals, leading to chain reactions that may damage cells.
Why it is used??
To prevent degradation by oxidation
Examples:
• Ascorbic acid (AA, E300) and tocopherols (E306propyl gallate (PG,
E310),
• Tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ),
• Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA, E320)
• Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT, E321)
Tertiary butylhydroquinone
Buffering agents
These are materials which, when dissolved in solvent will enable the
solution to resist any change in pH should an acid or an alkali be added.
The choice of suitable buffer depends on the pH and buffer in capacity
required.
Why it is used??
To prevent a rapid change in pH when acids or bases are added
to the solution.
Examples:
 Citrate
 Phosphate
 Acetate
 Carbonate
Preservatives
They are substances that are commonly added to various foods
and pharmaceutical products in order to prolong their shelf life.
Why it is used?
To protect products.
Example:
• Sorbic acid, sodium sorbate and sorbates
• Benzoic acid, sodium benzoate and benzoates
• Hydroxybenzoate and derivatives
• Sulfur dioxide and sulfites
Sodium benzoate
Solvents and co-solvents:
A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.
Co-solvent is a solvent that in conjunction with another solvent can
dissolve a solute.
Why it is used???
o They provide molecules to build some drugs.
o For other drugs, solvents are used for extraction and purification.
Example:
• Water
• Sorbitol
• Glycerol
• Propylene glycol
• Ether
• Alcohol
Flavoring agent:
Our pharmaceutical flavors are available in liquid or powder form, in a
variety of concentrations, formulations and sizes.
Flavors may be natural or artificial.
Why it is used??
To mask unpleasant flavor and to improve the acceptance
Examples:
• Essential oils-
To improve
a bitter product - mint, cherry or anise
a salty product - peach, apricot
a sour product - raspberry
• Amyl acetate -banana flavoring
• Ethyl butyrate- pineapple.
Note: Diethylene Glycol and Monoethyl ether, shall not be used
as solvent in flavors.
Thank You
Any Question???
