A "'hydrophile "'is a molecule or other molecular entity that is dissolved by water.
2.
For stable emulsion formation, a mixture of HLB ( hydrophile-lipophile balance ) and low HLB surfactants are needed.
3.
An approximate rule of thumb for hydrophilicity of organic compounds is that solubility of a molecule in water is more than 1 mass % if there is at least one neutral hydrophile group per 5 carbons, or at least one electrically charged hydrophile group per 7 carbons.
