Abstract : The invention relates to a method for producing an emulsion
includinga hydrophobic internal phase dispersed in a hydro
philic continuous phase, of the medium internal phase
(MIPE) or high internal phase (HIPE) type, which has an
internal phase percentage higher than 55%, comprising the
following steps:
a)producingan oil-in-wateremulsion composition that has
a hydrophobic phase/hydrophilic phase volume ratio of
at least 5/95, includinga step for incorporating cellulose
nanocrystals into said hydrophilic phase, and a step for
forming the emulsion by dispersing said hydrophobic
phase in said hydrophilic phase, and
b) producing an emulsion that has an internal phase per
centage higher than 55%, including:
b.1) a step foradding a volume ofhydrophobic phase to the
emulsion composition produced in Step a), and stirring
the mixture thereby produced, and/or
b.2) a step for concentrating the emulsion composition
produced in Step a), by removing at least part of said
hydrophilic phase.
