Abstract

Common edible oils such as almond, safflower, soybean, and mustard oil were formulated in the form of eggless and low-fat oil-in-water emulsions using a blend of nonionic emulsifier Glycerol monostearate and amphoteric emulsifier soy lecithin. The emulsion parameters such as vegetable oil, emulsifier, additive content and hydrophilic-lipophilic balance number of emulsifier were optimized. The storage stability of formulated emulsions was monitored under accelerated storage stability conditions for six months. Rheological characterization of stable emulsion revealed pseudoplastic flow behavior. In vivo hypolepidemic activity of formulated emulsions in rats showed considerable reduction in total cholesterol and triglyceride level after 14 days as compared with the marketed product. The almond oil emulsion is found superior than safflower oil emulsion.
