40. An improved process for preparing a high-internal-phase emulsion of the type comprising an aqueous phase, an oil phase and an emulsifier and prepared by the steps comprising:
-
(i) dissolving said emulsifier in oil to provide said oil phase; and (ii) homogenizing said oil phase with said aqueous phase to provide said high-internal-phase emulsion, the improvement comprising; (i) dissolving an amount sufficient to increase the stability of said emulsion of an electrolyte selected from the group consisting of potassium sulfate and magnesium sulfate contained in said aqueous phase thereby providing for increased stability of said emulsion. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43)
