Types of emulsion:

1. Emulsions are categorized into two categories based on the features of the dispersion medium and the dispersed phase. They are Oil in water emulsion and water in oil emulsion.
2. An oil-in-water emulsion is one in which oil is present as the dispersed phase and water is present as the dispersion medium. Example: Milk
