Abstrakt: A microporous glass membrane with a narrow-range pore size was applied for the microfiltration of egg yolk phospholipid emulsions. The oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions were successfully filtered using the membrane without any coalescence of oil droplets or the breakdown of the emulsions. The filtrated oil-in-water emulsion was stable for at least 6 wk when stored at 5°C. The results obtained suggest that the technique would be valuable for the precise filtration of emulsions for food uses as well as intravenous fat and/or drug carrier emulsions, and offer the stabilization of the emulsions.
