Hello,
I am trying to make a macroemulsion system for eugenol oil using surfactant and solvent (Toluene), but actually it did not established yet. So, according to articles, I think it is better to use co-surfactant. Which co-surfactant do you recommend for Eugenol dissolving to water?
I was wondering to use 1-butanol , but I am not sure if it is helpful or not.
Thank you!
I don't understand your question. You asked about surfactant but you mentioned 1-butanol. 1-butanol is not a surfactant.
And all surfactant can help every oil dissolving in water.
you can try tween-60, tween-80, span-60. There are a lot references presenting the emulsion of oil using surfactant and co-surfactant.
Dear all, I think you need a co-solvent such as ethyl acetate, ethyl alcohol and water, and not a co-surfactant. Solvents mixtures are used for enhanced extraction of eugenol. My Regards
