Preparing Nontoxic Microemulsions .2.
In two Letters published earlier in this journal, we have presented recipes for preparing nontoxic microemulsions with unsaturated fatty acid alkyl esters, biological amphiphiles, and alkane-1,2-diols as cosolvents. In this paper we summarize the results and add some new ones, using a saturated fatty acid ester (isopropyl myristate), as well as an essential oil (orange oil).
