2.4.1. Emulsion Droplet Size

A laser diffraction particle size analyzer (LS 13 320, High Wycombe, UK) was used to acquire emulsion droplet size distributions. The emulsion samples were gently shaken in their storage vials and a few droplets, as indicated by the instrument’s software, were added into the water contained in the dispersion cell of the equipment. Duplicate scattering patterns were acquired at 20 °C. These were automatically averaged and analyzed by the software, having set the refractive index for the sunflower oil and water to 1.465 and 1.333, respectively. The results are presented as volume-based density distribution and mean droplet size (d_4,3).
