  • Double emulsions
    Patent number: 11968993
    Abstract: A water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) emulsion comprising a lipid phase (O) and a water phase (W2), the lipid phase being distributed inside the water phase, wherein the lipid phase contains water droplets (W1), wherein the water content inside the lipid phase is between 10 wt % and 80 wt % relative to total weight of the lipid phase, wherein the water droplets are stabilized inside the lipid phase by an emulsifier composition, wherein the emulsifier composition comprises an Acetone-insoluble (AI) component containing a Phosphatidyl Choline (PC), a Phosphatidyl Inositol (PI), a Phosphatidyl Ethanolamine (PE) and a Phosphatidic Acid (PA), wherein PC is at most 15.5% relative to the total weight of the emulsifier composition and wherein the emulsifier composition has a phospholipid weight ratio R of at most 65%, the ratio R being defined according to Formula R(in %)=100×(PC+PI+PE+PA)/AI.
