Abstract
There is provided a method of producing an emulsion by which an emulsion consisting of uniform and microfine globules can be easily obtained with a reduced energy input as compared with the conventional technology. This method of producing an emulsion comprises applying a back pressure equal to not less than 0.2% but less than 5% of the pressure acting on the point of high-pressure emulsifying action in a high-pressure emulsification zone in the course of production of an emulsion with a high-pressure emulsification equipment. The back pressure can be obtained typically by equipping an emulsification machine with a pipeline smaller in inside diameter than the discharge line of the machine.
