Scheme 2

Basic illustration of a small portion of an emulsion showing the oil (O), aqueous (W) and interfacial (I) regions. ФI, ФW and ФO indicate the volume fraction of each region (Фregion = Vregion/VTotal), and PWI and POI are the partition constants describing the distribution of an antioxidant (here, RES); and, kI is the interfacial rate constant of the reaction between the 4-hexadecybenzenediazonium ions (16-ArN2+) and the antioxidant.
