Emulsion preparation comprising washed oil bodies of uniform size, shape and density

摘要

An emulsion formulation comprising washed oil bodies derived from the oil body fraction of living cells is described. The method for preparing an emulsion formulation involves, obtaining the oil bodies from a cell; washing the oil bodies to obtain a washed oil body preparation comprising intact oil bodies of approximately uniform size, shape and density; and formulating the washed oil body preparation into an emulsion. The washed oil body is obtained from plant seeds such as rapeseed, soybean, maize, and sunflower. The emulsions can be used in a wide range of applications including in the preparation of food and feed products, pharmaceutical products, personal care products, and industrial products.
