Abstract
Fish oil was spontaneously emulsified in a low-acyl gellan solution by the surfactant polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80) at different ratios of surfactant-to-oil (SOR). A minimum content of 4 mg g−1 of gellan at aqueous phase was necessary to produce stable emulsions at the SOR of 1.0. Higher gellan contents allowed reduction of SOR. A fully stable emulsion for 60 days was prepared at a gellan concentration of 6 mg g−1 and SOR of...
