At the oil/water interface, spontaneous emulsification occurs when oil containing certain oil-soluble substances such as cholesterol is allowed to stand in contact with aqueous nonionic surfactant solutions. In this study, the interfacial tension between oil and water phases was measured in the presence of various oil-soluble substances, such as cholesterol, 1-dodecanol, and cis-9-octadecene-1-ol, added as ingredients in oil and various nonionic and anionic surfactants added in water, this study ascertained their effects on the emulsification.
