They are all……
OK – so what is an emulsion?

Emulsions are foods made from a mixture of oil and water and they are important foods as they are smooth and creamy.
But, oil and water don’t mix (immiscible) so we need a special substance which stops the water and oil separating out.
Oil droplet
Water
We need an EMULSIFIER

Emulsifiers stop oil and water from separating out, but how do they work?

An emulsifier molecule
This end is attracted to water (Hydrophilic)
This end is attracted to oil (Hydrophobic)

oil droplet
The charged oil droplets repel each other (like charges repel), keeping them spread throughout the water.

The negative charges repel each other which stops the oil droplets from coming together and forming bigger drops.

Observing an emulsion (milk) with a microscope
Put a drop of one type of milk in the centre of the microscope slide.
Place a cover slip at the edge, and support it with the mounted needle.
Gently, lower onto the liquid in order to minimise air bubbles getting trapped underneath.
Put the slide onto the microscope stage, and adjust for the lowest magnification and bring into focus. Repeat for other milk.
Draw diagrams of what you see.
