Dear Noura S. Dosoky ,

It depends on the purpose of your experiment. In general, you can use a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier such tween-80, span-80 or mix of them and then subject the coars emulsion to a homogenizer.

I think that we can explain more if you can put more details about your experiment aim.

I wish you all the best.
