Alphaltenes were selected on the basis of their capacity to form water-oil emulsions. They were characterized by electron microscopy, surface group analysis, g.p.c. and low-angle X-ray scattering. It appears that the high stability of water-oil emulsions is related to the 'structuring' capacity of a

✦ Synopsis
Asphaltenes which differ in their abilities to form water/oil emulsions were analysed by acidimetry, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies. Asphaltenes which easily form such emulsions are loosely packed molecules and exhibit a marked acid/base imbalance.

This work investigates the fundamental properties of emulsiÐers that may contribute to the fat-associated sensory attributes of emulsions. Model oil-in-water emulsions were prepared with 0, 12, 24, 36 and 48% oil and emulsi-Ðed with seven di †erent emulsiÐers ; two proteins ; sodium caseinate and wh
Because of the existence of large reserves, the production of heavy oils is presently the object of much interest. Some heavy oil reservoirs show anomalous behavior in primary production, with rates of production better than predicted. In Canada and Venezuela some heavy oils are produced in the form
