Water transfer within multiple W/O/W emulsions at a fixed subambient temperature.

Author(s) : CLAUSSE D., PEZRON I., RAYNAL S.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The inner and outer aqueous phases of a multiple emulsion recall the intra and extracellular parts of a biological cell. As it has been seen on biological tissues, a deshydration of the intraceluular part is observed due to a water transfer towards the frozen extracellular phase. The consequence of this dehydration is in the getting of a more concentrated solution and therefore the water transfer can be stopped. In the study, the authors have neglected the possible influence of the solute dissolved in the inner phase, the total amount of solute being very low. In the next future the authors propose to study this point more thoroughly considering highest amount of solute.
