Rheology, characteristics, stability, and pH-responsiveness of biosurfactant-stabilized crude oil/water nanoemulsions

The successful utilization of nanoemulsions in several applications would require the formulation of emulsions with excellent characteristics. Ideally, the nanoemulsions should be stabilized using bioemulsifiers, which do not negatively impact the environment throughout their cradle-to-grave lifetime. Thus, crude oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsions with exceptional properties were prepared in this study using rhamnolipid biosurfactant as a...
