Evaluation of emulsion stability and L*, a*, b* values of emulsions produced at different homogenizing speeds and times

Speed (rpm)	Mixing time (min)	Emulsion stability (%)	Creaming index (%)		L*	a*	b*
Speed (rpm)	Mixing time (min)	Emulsion stability (%)	Day 1	Day 7	L*	a*	b*
20,000	2	83.73 ± 2.24^a	-	-	74.19 ± 0.09^a	4.88 ± 0.40^a	32.07 ± 0.05^a
20,000	4	87.84 ± 0.61^a	-	-	75.09 ± 0.13^a	4.61 ± 0.06^a	30.44 ± 1.25^a
15,000	2	85.39 ± 0.45^a	-	-	74.41 ± 1.16^a	4.39 ± 0.26^a	31.53 ± 1.20^a

‘-’indicates that the emulsion was not separated. L* represents lightness (100 = white; 0 = black). a* indicates redness when positive, greenness when negative. b* indicates yellowness when positive, blueness when negative. Values are presented as means ± standard deviations. *^a Values with different superscript letters indicate significant difference at p < 0.05
