Water-soluble concentrate, which consists of an emulsified phase or a water-soluble phase and a complex of lipophilic liquid materials of vegetable origin is obtained

摘要

The invention concerns the preparation of a clear and stable microemulsion from liquid lipophile substances of plant origin in particular essential oils using an ecologically optimised solubilising agent consisting of a mixture of an ethoxylated vegetable oil with at least an additional surfactant comprising an anionic surfactant derived form another vegetable oil and/or a non-ionic surfactant. Said microemulsion enables to preserve the original active properties of the essential oils while adding particular specific properties derived from the solubilising agent or the mixture thereof with the vegetable lipophile substances. The invention is useful for all applications of essential oils and those provided by the addition of specific surfactants.
