Experimental Data for Conference Proceedings: Generation of O/W nanoemulsions via spontaneous emulsification in self-assembly, macrofluidics, and microfluidics to produce fortified beverages for astronauts

Abstract

The data set consists of average droplet size measurements of emulsions generated by either (1) self-assembly (i.e., solvent-free variant of spontaneous emulsification) only; (2) self-assembly in combination with small-scale batch process (approx. 5 ml, in a stirred beaker); (3) self-assembly in combination with medium-scale batch process (approx. 100 ml, burette/beaker setup); (4) self-assembly in combination with a single-contact continuous, microfluidic process (T-mixer); (5) self-assembly in combination with a multi-contact continuous, microfluidic process (Corning Low-Flow reactor). Additionally, for process (1-3), relative oil content was varied at constant surfactant-to-oil ratio (SOR) and average droplet size determined.
