An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids that are usually immiscible with each other. An emulsion consists of two main components: the dispersed phase and the continuous phase. The dispersed phase consists of tiny droplets or particles of one liquid suspended within another liquid, which is the continuous phase.
Oct 3, 2020 · An emulsion is defined as a mixture of two or more normally immiscible (unmixable) liquids. Emulsions are colloids, which are homogeneous mixtures consisting of particles larger than molecules that scatter light, but are small enough that they don’t separate.

An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible (unmixable or unblendable) owing to liquid-liquid phase separation. Emulsions are part of a more general class of two-phase systems of matter called colloids.
