VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG VON EMULSIONEN

摘要

An aspect of the present invention provides a method of manufacturing an emulsion by using a nonionic surfactant, an oil agent and water, wherein the following steps are conducted in a continuous flow system: an emulsification step of forming an emulsion by emulsifying the nonionic surfactant, the oil agent and the water at a phase inversion temperature at which three phases of the nonionic surfactant, the oil agent and the water coexist; and an emulsion stabilization step of passing the emulsion in a microchannel(72) with an equivalent diameter equal to or less than 1 mm to rapidly cool or rapidly heat the emulsion from the phase inversion temperature to a temperature at which the emulsion is stabilized.
