Droplet size and size distribution changes at homogenization of paraffin oil emulsions, stabilized by different concentrations of various emulsifiers, were investigated. During homogenization, samples were taken from emulsions and the most frequently occuring diameter, mean droplet diameter and standard deviation (distribution width) were determined. Mathematical relations describing changes of mean diameter and distribution width, as a function of the homogenization period and emulsifier concentration, were derived and applied to the experimental data. Emulsifier efficiencies and capabilities were characterized by physical constants and graphically. Optimal homogenization time interval, optimal emulsifier concentrations and corresponding droplet size distribution parameters were computed.
