1.INTRODUCTION-Emulsion is a heterogeneous
system of one immiscible liquid dispersed in another in the form of droplets.
Simple emulsion are classified according to the nature of their continuous or dispersed phase as,
1.Water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion2.Oil-in-water (o/w) emulsionAn emulsifier is present to
stabilize the system.
![Page 4: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
2.MULTIPLE EMULSIONS-These are also known as DOUBLE EMULSIONS.
These are more complex system, as the drops of the dispersed phase contain even smaller dispersed droplets, in most cases identical with the continuous phase, but separated physically from the continuous phase, these are known as “EMULSIONS OF EMULSIONS”
![Page 5: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Based on the nature of dispersed medium multiple emulsions are of two types-
1.o/w/o emulsions 2.w/o/w emulsions1.O/W/O EMULSIONS-In this system water droplets may be
surrounded by oil phase which in turn enclose one or more oil droplets.
2.W/O/W EMULSION-In this system oil droplets may be
surrounded by an aqueous phase, which in turn enclose one or several water droplets.

ADVANTAGES OF MULTIPLE EMULSIONS-1.A remarkable degree of
biocompatibility.2.Compelete biodegradability.3.Hydrophilic as well as
hydrophobic drug can be entrapped.
4.Protection from the inactivation by the endogenous factors.
5.Increase in drug dosing intervals.6.Taste masking of bitter drugs.

DISADVANTAGES-1.Emulsions have short shelf life.2.These dosage forms are packed in a plastic or glass containers.
so, care should be taken in handling and storage.
![Page 9: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
3.PREPARATION TECHNIQUES-For the preparation of multiple
emulsions two different surfactants of opposite nature is used.
One surfactant stabilizes the w/o (lipophilic) emulsion while the other stabilizes the o/w (hydrophilic) emulsion.
Emulsifier get adsorbed at the surface of droplets during the emulsion formation & prevent them from drawing close enough to aggregate.
![Page 10: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
METHODS OF PREPARATION-1.Two step emulsification (double emulsification)
2.Modified two step emulsification
3.Phase inversion4.Membrane emulsification method
5.Micro channel emulsification
![Page 11: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1.TWO STEP EMULSIFICATION-Most common method because it is
easy & gives high yield with reproducibility.
Multiple emulsions are prepared by re-emulsification of a primary emulsion.
In this method two stages involved-Stage 1- It involves the preparation of
the primary emulsion either w/o or o/w type which is then re-emulsified with an excess of aqueous or oil phase in presence of second emulsifier to get the multiple emulsion of w/o/w or o/w/o respectively.
![Page 12: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
[Aqueous] + [oil + lipophilic surfactant] [w/o emulsion]
Stage 2- Generally two emulsifiers are used in the preparation of multiple emulsions.
One is lipophilic and other is hydrophilic surfactant.
[w/o emulsion] + [ hydrophilic surfactant] [w/o/w emulsion]
![Page 13: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2.MODIFIED TWO STEP EMULSIFICATION TECHNIQUE-This method is different from the
conventional two step technique in 2 points-
1.Sonication & stirring are used to obtain fine, homogenous and stable w/o emulsion.
2. A continuous phase is poured into a dispersed phase for preparing w/o/w emulsion.
This modified method gives high yield and stable emulsion.
![Page 15: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3.PHASE INVERSION (ONE STEP METHOD)-A well defined volume of oil phase is
placed in a vessel of pin mixer.An aqueous solution of emulsifier is
then introduced successively to the oil phase at the rate of 5 ml/minute, pin mixer rotate steadily at 88 r.p.m. at room temperature.
When volume fraction of the aqueous solution of hydrophilic emulsifier exceeds 0.7,
![Page 16: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
the continuous oil phase is substituted by aqueous phase containing a no. of the vesicular globules among the simple oil droplets, leading to the phase inversion and formation of w/o/w multiple emulsion.

4.MEMBRANE EMULSIFICATION TECHNIQUE-In this ,a micro porous glass membrane with a defined pore size can be used as a emulsifying tool.
It is based on the principle of dispersing one immiscible phase into other phase by applying pressure.
The particle size of the w/o/w emulsion can be controlled with the proper selection of the porous glass membrane.
![Page 18: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The relation between membrane pore size & particle size of emulsion exhibit good correlation as described by the formula-
y=5.03 x + 0.19 where- x=pore size y=mean particle size
![Page 19: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
5.MICRO CHANNEL EMULSIFICATION
It is a novel technique.A two step emulsification process employing micro channel as the second step was used for preparing w/o/w emulsions.
The w/o/w emulsion entrapment yield was measured flourimatrically and was found to be 91%.
![Page 20: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
4.CHARACTERIZATION OF MULTIPLE EMULSION-1.Average globule size & size distribution
2.Area of interfaces3.Number of globules4.Rheological evaluation5.Zeta potential6.Percentage drug entrapment7.In vitro drug release8.In vitro stability studies
![Page 21: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
MACROSCOPIC EXAMINATION-Primary observations like color, consistency & homogeneity are frequently used to ensure formation of an emulsion.
Type of multiple emulsion can be validated by dilution with the external phase.
![Page 22: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
1.AVERAGE GLOBULE SIZE & SIZE DISTRIBUTION-The optical microscopy method using
calibrated occular & stage micrometer can be utilized for globule size determination of both multiple emulsion droplets as well as droplets of internal dispersed phase.
However this method has two main drawbacks-
1.Simple small drops passes to form large simple drop which gives a false impression of multiple nature.
![Page 23: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2. If the internal droplets are very small in size these can not be viewed due to reflection light from the oil droplets surface.
Various other techniques are used to characterize the emulsion like coulter counter, freeze fracture electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy are also used to determine average globule size and size distribution of multiple emulsion droplets.
![Page 24: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2.AREA OF INTERFACES-The average globule diameter determined can be used in the calculation of the total area of interface using the formula-
s = 6/dWhere s = total area of interface
d = diameter of globules
![Page 25: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
3.NUMBER OF GLOBULES-Number of globule per cubic millimeter
can be measured using a haemocytometer cell after appropriate dilution of the multiple emulsion.
The globules in 5 groups of 16 small squares (total 80 small squares) can be counted and the total no. of globules in per cubic mm. is calculated using the formula-
No. of globules/mmᶾ=no. of globules × dilution × 4000
No. of small square counted
![Page 26: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
4.PERCENTAGE DRUG ENTRAPMENT-
% drug entrapment of drug in the multiple emulsion is generally determined using dialysis, centrifugation, filtration & conductivity measurement.
However recently an internal tracer/marker was used to evaluate the entrapment of an impermeable marker molecule contained in the inner phase of w/o/w emulsion.
![Page 27: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
% entrapment can be calculated using the following equation-
c=100/[1-n1v*/(n10-n1)v1]
v*=v2 + vd(v1 +v2 + v0 )/vs
Where- n10 =initial concentration of drug in
inner aqueous phase n1 =concentration of drug in dilysate
v1,v2,v0 =represent the volume of inner & outer aqueous & middle oil phase respectively
![Page 28: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
5.RHEOLOGICAL EVALUATION-The rheology of multiple emulsion relates to emulsion stability and clinical performance.
The viscosity and interfacial elasticity are two major parameter which relate to product rheology.
The viscosity of multiple emulsion can be measured by Brookfield rotational viscometer.
![Page 29: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
6.ZETA POTENTIAL-Zeta potential measurements are pivotal in the designing of surface modified or ligand anchord multiple emulsion system.
Zeta potential can be calculated using Smoluchowski’s equation from the mobility & electrophoretic velocity of dispersed globules using the zeta potentiometer.
![Page 30: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Zeta potential was calculated using the following formula-
Ȥ= 4 π η μ / εE x 103
Ȥ= zeeta potential (m.v.) η=viscosity of dispersion medium(poise) μ= migration velocity (cm/sec.) ε= dielectric constant of dispersion
medium E= potential gradient (voltage applied/distance between electrodes)

7.IN VITRO DRUG RELEASE-The drug released from the aqueous inner phase of a w/o/w emulsion can be estimated using the conventional dialysis method using a cellophane tubing.
Typically 5 ml. of (w/o/w) multiple emulsion is placed in the dialysis bag & dialysed against 200 ml. of phosphate saline buffer (PBS pH 7.4) at 37±10c &
![Page 32: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
sink condition is maintained while sink contents are stirred continuously using a magnetic stirrer.
Aliquots are withdrawn at different time interval & estimated using standard procedure & the data are used to calculate the cumulative drug release profile.
![Page 33: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
8.IN VITRO STABILITY STUDIES-Emulsion stability is determined by phase separation on storage of w/o/w emulsions.
Freshly prepared multiple emulsion allowed to stand for one week at room temperature & the volume of aqueous phase separated (vsep) is measured at suitable time interval & % phase separation is calculated using following formula-
![Page 34: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Formula- B%= 100 ( vsep / 20 )
[(v1+v2)/v1 +v2+v0)]
where- v1=volume of internal aqueous phase
v2=volume of external aqueous phase
v3=volume of middle oil phase
![Page 35: Multiple Emulsion New](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061523/55355ccb4a7959a0138b458d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
