Figure 1:
Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion formed by diluting the concentrated solution obtained from the alcoholic extract of bitter almond at ratios of 1:1 (a) and 1:10 (b).
Figure 2:
Formation of type I (O/W) emulsion occurs when the concentrated emulsion is subjected to dilution with bitter almond alcohol extract. When the concentrated emulsion is diluted at ratios of 1:20 (a) and 1:30 (b) the phase in the W/O emulsion changes to (O/W).
