Abstract
The stability of emulsions has been determined by a microwave irradiation method. After this treatment, the surface temperature of the emulsion tends to be greatest and the temperature difference between the surface and the bottom of the emulsion smallest for the more stable emulsions. These results have been explained in terms of the nature of microwave heating and a partially destabilized emulsion.
