The present invention belongs to the technical field of daily
chemical industry, and specifically relates to an
emulsion and a preparation method thereof. The
emulsion provided by the present invention comprises an emulsifier,
glycerol, an oil-phase active substance, pentaerythrityl
tetra(ethylhexanoate) and water; wherein the emulsifier is a
lipopeptide; the weight percentage of the
lipopeptide relative to
glycerol is not less than 3%; the weight ratio of the oil-phase active substance to pentaerythrityl
tetra(ethylhexanoate) is 1:(3 to 13); the ratio of the total weight of the
lipopeptide and
glycerol to the total weight of the oil-phase active substance and pentaerythrityl
tetra(ethylhexanoate) is 1:(3 to 10); and the ratio of the total weight of the lipopeptide, glycerol, oil-phase active substance and pentaerythrityl tetra(ethylhexanoate) to the weight of water is 1:(1 to 4). By compounding
sodium surfactin with glycerol and pentaerythrityl tetra(ethylhexanoate), the
emulsion can effectively inhibit the
diffusion of the oil-phase active substance at an emulsion interface, reduce the
oxidative degradation of the oil-phase active substance, and greatly prolong the
effective action time of the oil-phase active substance in the emulsion.
