Trends and perspectives on emulsified product design

The chemical industry has experienced a paradigm shift from the production of bulk commodities towards formulated and specialized products such as emulsified products. This paradigm shift represents a significant challenge for emulsified product design due to the lack of understanding of these systems and low-fidelity predictive models. This review presents the current challenges in emulsified products design and current trends and opportunities in this field. This work emphasizes the need for new indicators for customer requirements to link current market trends (e.g., consumer demand for green products) to the design of emulsified products. This review also provides information concerning approaches and tools that could significantly improve the design process of emulsified products such as multiscale modeling and Process Intensification.
