Abstract: The use of tahini, a sesame paste, as an emulsifying agent
was the subject of this investigation. Mineral oil emulsion,
USP, was used as an emulsion model. Tahini partially or
completely replaced acacia in the official emulsion. The rate
of creaming (expressed as percent) and the viscosity of the resulting
emulsions were measured. Also, emulsions were prepared
containing tahini only. The results show that tahiniprepared
emulsions had lower creaming rates and viscosity
after one month of storage at room temperature. Thus, a better
physical stability was achieved when tahini was used as an
emulsifying agent.
