This paper presents the determination of an aqueous phase composition of a new triglyceride microemulsion in which the triglycerides constitute the whole oil-phase of the microemulsion. Palm oil was used as the oil phase of the microemulsion. Experimental results indicate that the optimum triglyceri...
