abstemious_entity asked:


an emulsifier/emulsifying agent is a substance which stabilizes an emulsion. whereas, Surfactants reduce the surface tension of water by adsorbing at the liquid-gas interface. They also reduce the interfacial tension between oil and water by adsorbing at the liquid-liquid interface.

from what i understand emulsifying agents is a general term whereas surfactant is more specific…what are the kinds of emulsifying agents anyway?
