Multiple W/O/W emulsions have been prepared by multi-stage (repeated) premix membrane emulsification using Shirasu-porous glass (SPG) membrane with a mean pore size of 10.7 μm. A coarse emulsion containing droplets with a mean particle size of about 100 μm was homogenized 5–6 times through the same...
