Interest in using nanoemulsions as delivery systems for lipophilic food ingredients is growing due to their high optical clarity, good physical stability, and ability to increase bioavailability. Nanoemulsion-based delivery systems may need to be incorporated into food matrices that also contain conventional emulsions. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of adding nanoemulsions (d < 200 nm) to conventional emulsions (d > 200 nm) on the creaming stability and microstructure of the mixed systems. Droplet flocculation and rapid creaming was observed when the nanoemulsion concentration exceeded a particular level: the critical flocculation concentration (CFC) was 3.75 % and 0.25 % (v/v) for conventional emulsions with average droplet diameters of 350 and 250 nm, respectively. Confocal microscopy indicated that there was appreciable droplet flocculation, and the fraction of individual droplets with diameters < 100 nm decreased after 14 days storage, which was probably due to Ostwald ripening and/or coalescence. The results of the present study might have important implications for the incorporation of nanoemulsion-based delivery systems into food products containing larger fat droplets, such as dressings, sauces, or beverages.
