22 Mechanism? Case 1 limited amount of emulsifiers is miscible in fat system. The small amounts of emulsifiers act as impurities and result in imperfections of fat crystals. It will promote or retard polymorphic transformation of fat crystals. Case 2 fats and emulsifiersare highly miscible. In this case, fats-emulsifiers binary phase shows miscible phase behavior or molecular compound formation. Case 3 fats and emulsifiers are totally imiscible in a soild state. In nucleation, emulsifiers may work as seeds of fat crystals under special conditions, foe example, a template film. In crystal growth, the emulsifiers are adsorbed at steps or kninks of fat crystals at crystal-liquid interfaces and inhibit crystal growth and thereby modify crystal morphology. Case 4 emulsion systems; emulsifiers may induce fat emulsifiers interaction. Acceleration of nucleation may occur at the interface of the emulsion onto which the adsorbed hydrophilic emulsifiers become templetes for heteroginious nucleation.
