12-hydroxystearic acid-mediated in-situ surfactant generation: A novel approach for organohydrogel emulsions

Résumé

Hypothesis Organohydrogel emulsions display unique rheological properties and contain hydrophilic and lipophilic domains highly desirable for the loading of active compounds. They find utility in various applications from food to pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products. The current systems have limited applications due to complex expensive formulation and/or processing difficulties in scale-up. To solve these issues, a simple emulsification process coupled with unique compounds are required. Experiments Here, we report an organohydrogel emulsion based only on a low concentration of 12-hydroxystearic acid acting as a gelling agent for both oil and water phases but also as a surfactant. The emulsification process is based on in-situ surfactant transfer. We characterize the emulsification process occurring at the nanoscale by using tensiometry experiments. The emulsion structure was determined by coupling Small Angle X-ray and neutron scattering, and confocal Raman microscopy. Findings We demonstrate that the stability and unique rheological properties of these emulsions come from the presence of self-assembled crystalline structures of 12-hydroxystearic acid in both liquid phases. The emulsion properties can be tuned by varying the emulsion composition over a wide range. These gelled emulsions are prepared using a low energy method offering easy scale-up at an industrial level.
