The required HLB values of eucalyptus, lippia and peppermint essential oils were

determined using droplet size analysis and turbidimetric method on emulsions

prepared with

emulsifier blends of varying HLB values. The percentage increase in mean droplet

diameter and the degree of dispersion of droplet sizes were determined before

and after

centrifugation of the emulsions. The HLB value of the emulsion with the least

dispersion ratio or the least percentage increase in mean droplet diameter was

taken as the

required HLB of the respective essential oil. The turbidimetric method was

validated by the existence of correlation (r=-0.958) between the mean droplet

diameter and the

turbidity of the emulsions. The turbidity curve went through a maximum at the

HLB value where the mean droplet diameter was least. Based on these methods, the

required

HLB values of eucalyptus, lippia and peppermint oils were determined as 9.8,

12.1 and 12.3, respectively (P<0.05). Liquid paraffin was used as a reference

standard and its

required HLB fell within literature value.
