This equipment produces finely divided particles by spraying a mist of liquid through a heated chamber, drying immediately and collecting the dried powders in a clean receptacle;

Micronization
Homogenization
A suspension that appears as masses of gels, consisting of floccules of small distinct particles;
Magmas and Milk

Micronization
Freeze drying
Spray drying
Homogenization
It is the reverse of creaming; wherein less concentrated emulsified droplets separate from the internal phase. It usually settles at the bottom of the external phase of the container;
Sedimentation

This theory of emulsification assumes monomolecular layers of emulsifying agent curved around a droplet of the internal phase of the emulsion.
Oriented wedge theory
Surface tension theory
Plastic-film theory
Interfacial film theory
This theory places the emulsifying agent at the interface between the oil and water, surrounding the droplets of the internal phase as thin layer of film adsorbed on the surface of drops
Interfacial film theory
Oriented wedge theory

Syneresis
Thixotropy
It is the result of the interaction of relativity weak particles, which may have sufficient emulsifier coverage and therefore prevent coalescence.
