Abstract
We determined the water intake of internally structured oil-loaded monoglyceride-based dispersions. This was possible through small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments on the corresponding bulk mesophases because the structural parameters in full hydration conditions are identical to those of the dispersed particles. From low water contents to full hydration, the bulk phases depend strongly on the amount of oil. At room temperature in excess water and with increasing oil concentration, successive bicontinuous cubic, reverse hexagonal, micellar cubic, and inverse micellar-type isotropic fluid phases are found. The solubilized water is determined as a function of the oil content for each phase, and it is found to range from 5-33 wt %.
