Abstract: In order to obtain the stable emulsion structures to further improve the performance in encapsulation and transport for active substances, a water-in-oil-in-water(W1/O/W2)type double emulsion was successfully constructed by a two-step emulsification method, and the emulsion gel was obtained through a gelation process. The polyglycerol polyricinoleate(PGPR)and silica nanoparticles modified with hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB)were respectively used as stabilizers for W1/O and O/W2 emulsions, andoctyl and decyl glycerate(ODO)was used as the oil phase. The effect of emulsifier dosage and oil-water ratio on the emulsion type, droplet microstructure and emulsion stability were investigated to obtain the optimal conditions for preparing stable W1/O and O/W2 emulsions.On this basis, the W1/O emulsion from single-step emulsification was used as the dispersed phase with W2 as the continuous phase for the preparation of stable water-in-oil-in-water(W1/O/W2)double emulsions.The emulsion gels with excellent stability were obtained by introducing Gellan gum(GG)into the outer water phase, with no observed microstructural change after kept for 60 days at room temperature. In this study, the stable double emulsion gel system formed by gelation of the external aqueous phasewere hopefully helpful for the applications in encapsulation and release of active substances using emulsions as carriers.

Key words: double emulsions, emulsion gel, stability, modification
