Size distribution of com. vegetable oil droplets dispersed in aq. phase (oil content 5-40% by vol., stirring rate 12 000 rpm at 23 degrees C, stirring time 10-180 s) was studied by optical microscopy (magnification x40) coupled with digital camera. The increasing stirring time resulted in decreasing droplet size. The emulsions with higher oil concns. showed a larger diameter of the droplets.
