Vesicles in fatty acid salt-fatty acid stabilized o/w emulsion - emulsion structure and rheology by Niraula, B.B., Seng, T.N., Misran, M.

“…When these oil and water phases are brought in contact, a portion of lauric acid transforms into sodium laurate in situ via acid-base reaction, the combination of which at a certain threshold concentration and above is believed to act as emulsifier in stabilizing the given o/w emulsion system. Light microscopy under cross polarizing conditions suggested that in addition to the formation of surfactant stabilized emulsion droplets, formation of molecular aggregates of vesicle type is imminent in these conditions, both the size and number density of which is found to be a function of emulsifier concentration ratio. …”
