The emulsification properties of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMChi) and hydrophobically modified carboxymethyl chitosan (h-CMChi) were studied as a function of pH and dodecane/water ratio. The pH was varied between 6-10, and the oil/water ratio between 0.1-2.0. In CMChi solution, the emulsion stability increased as the pH was lowered from 10 to 7, and the phase inversion was shifted from oil/water ratio 1.0 to 1.8, respectively. The system behaved differently in pH 6 due to the aggregation of CMChi ...[more]
