Table 3. Influence of emulsifier type on the mean droplet diameter (d 32, d 43) of 10 wt% canola oil-in-water emulsions (0.3 wt% emulsifier, 20 mM bis-Tris buffer, pH 7.0)

Sample d 32 d 43
Purified surface-active substances 0.31±0.01b 0.64±0.01c
Surface-active extracts (not-purified) 0.73±0.05a 1.02±0.06b
Commercial lecithin from soybean 0.69±0.07a 2.79±0.21a
Values are mean±standard deviation (n = 3).
Means with different letters in the same column are significantly different according to Duncan’s multiple range test (p < 0.05).
