problems can be controlled by double<br />
emulsion encapsulation 4,10,13 . The<br />
aim of this work was to prepare a<br />
W/O/W double emulsion containing<br />
biglicined iron in its internal acuose<br />
phase.<br />
MATERIALS AND METHODS<br />
The double emulsion was prepared at<br />
20°C in two steps 11,14 .<br />
Primary emulsion: 9 ml of biglicined<br />
iron solution were slowly added to a<br />
mixture of 1 ml of mineral oil and<br />
sorbitan monooleate (SPAN 80 at 2,<br />
17 and 32%) in a Polyscience<br />
homogenizer at 25000 rpm during 30<br />
min.<br />
Secondary emulsion: The primary<br />
emulsion was dispersed in deionized<br />
water using a magnetic stirrer at 600<br />
rpm. Hydroxipropil cellulose was<br />
added as thickener. Sodium Lauril<br />
Sulfate (SLS) was evaluated as<br />
emulsifying agent at 0.1, 1 and 10 of<br />
the Critic Micelle Concentration<br />
(CMC=8 E-03 Mol/l).<br />
The primary and secondary<br />
emulsions were analyzed using 100X<br />
immersion lens in an optical<br />
microscopic (National) equipped with<br />
digital camera and software for data<br />
analysis.<br />
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION<br />
The inverse emulsion (W/O) obtained<br />
(fig. 1) was a cuasimonodisperse<br />
emulsion of biglicined iron with<br />
diameter drops of 0.25-0.47 mm.<br />
