Fig. 9. Diagram showing the evolution of the samples following emulsification for each of the three compositions imaged in Fig. 8. The top row shows a 20% glycerol system, where the sample quickly gels immediately after the glycerol in oil emulsion is formed. The middle row shows a 40% gel where an oil in glycerol emulsion is initially formed, with secondary droplets forming as the oil phase becomes more viscous. The bottom row shows a 50% gel, which proceeds in the same manner, but with the glycerol droplets coalescing before the oleogel phase fully arrests.
