Abstract

Stability of multiple emulsion prepared using olive oil was evaluated at different storage temperatures. The formulation remained stable at lower temperatures for 28 days without any phase separation. Significant changes in the pH were observed in the formulation, kept at 8 °C from the 5th day onwards, in the electrical conductivity at 40 °C from 14th  day onwards and in the globule size, at 40 °C and 40° C + 75% RH condition from 24 h onwards.
