EFFECT OF SALT ON THE STABILITY OF PROPYLENE GLYCOL ALGINATE/XANTHAN GUM/POLYSORBATE-60 STABILIZED OIL-IN-WATER EMULSIONS

Stabilization mechanism of salt, as a dissolved electrolyte, in oil-in-water emulsions in the presence of stabilizers and/or emulsifiers, propylene glycol alginate, xanthan gum and/or polysorbate-60 has been studied using rheological techniques, particle size analysis and surface tension measurements. Salt affected the stability of the ternary system, propylene glycol alginate/xanthan gum/polysorbate-60, depending on the emulsifier/stabilizer ratio. Creep measurements indicated that low salt concentrations were particularly effective when PGA:X ratios were used in the presence of PS-60. In both PGA:X and PGA:X/PS-60 systems salt did not affect the particle size distribution during aging. Surface tension measurements were in agreement both with particle size distribution and high shear rate experiments.

An investigation of X-ray and radio isotope energy absorption of heavyweight concretes containing barite

This study investigated the X-ray and radioisotope energy absorption capacity of heavyweight concrete containing barite aggregate. Concrete plates were prepared using differing amounts of barite aggregate instead of normal aggregate. Density–thickness–energy variations of these concretes for 85 keV, 118 keV, 164 keV, 662 keV and 1250 keV ray energies were recorded. It was observed that the concretes with greater barite content had a higher density and energy absorption capacity.     

Effect of Propylene Glycol Alginate and Xanthan Gum on Stability of O/W Emulsions

The role of xanthan gum and propylene glycol alginate in stabilizing model oil-in-water salad dressing emulsions has been studied using rheological measurements, particle size analysis and surface tension. Increasing xanthan gum concentration within the gum ratio gave higher viscosity due to formation of aggregates with larger sizes. Propylene glycol alginate (PGA) was surface-active leading to reduction in surface tension of air/water surfaces. Reduction in viscosity was seen in the presence of PGA.     

EFFECT OF POLYSORBATE-60 ON THE STABILITY OF O/W EMULSIONS STABILIZED BY PROPYLENE GLYCOL ALGINATE AND XANTHAN GUM

The effect of polysorbate-60 in improving the stability of model oil-in-water emulsions formulated with xanthan gum and propylene glycol alginate was studied at two levels of the surfactant; 0.15% and 0.30%. Creep measurements and steady shear measurements as well as surface tension and oil droplet size measurements were conducted to relate rheological and surface properties to improved stability. Higher polysorbate-60 concentration resulted in lower surface tension values which shifted the oil droplet size distribution to a smaller size range; this distribution was a function of aging time at 0.15% weight concentration PS-60. The decay in rheological parameters, particularly Newtonian viscosity, was slower at 0.30% surfactant concentration.
