Q

is necessary to blend a water
phase and oil phase into an emulsion, but consider the potential effect of the
degree of ____on the product viscosity.

MIXING

48
Q

A ________ of energy must be used to
evenly mix the two phases and other
additives.

A

MINIMUM

49
Q

A _______ amount of mixing
energy, however, can decrease the
the particle size of the dispersed phase and
hence affecting the emulsion viscosity.

HIGH

50
Q

is generally less of a problem in
