Polymd. and crosslinked unsatd. glycerides were used as emulsifying agents (3-5%) for soybean oil, giving ≤50% aq. emulsions. The d.p., mol. wt. distribution, viscosity, dielec. const., and refractive index of the emulsifier were correlated with the emulsion stability, with mol. wt. ∼40,000 giving the best results.
