Emulsification of a pure hydrocarbon oil (n-hexadecane) and two complex oils (synthetic motor oil and diesel) by the TGOS-10 bioemulsifying polymer.

Emulsification was performed in distilled and deionised water with the respective oil. Emulsification activity (EI24) was measured after 24 hours since mixing the two phases, and is expressed as the height of the emulsion formed and expressed as a percentage of the total height of the mixture before mixing.
