Science - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
German term or phrase: Olivenölstammemulsion
This is a heading and underneath is the description of how it is made. I have a problem with the Stamm part. Unfortunately, I cannot give you more information. It appears once in the whole document (41 pp of chemical and pharmaceutical documentation).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lis

Explanation:
I'm presuming "olive oil" may be taken as given and "Stammemulsion" is normally "stock emulsion" - cf. Langenscheidts Fachwörterbuch Chemie.

This known oil/water emulsion is produced without the use of an emulgator or another surfactant, as a viscous solution of an aqueous cellulose ether is used instead in a weight ratio of 0.1 to 2.5% by weight calculated relative to the water- insoluble substances of the emulsion. When cellulose ethers are used, these substances form a protective colloid preventing coalecense of the resulting emulsion because the oil drops in the emulsion are surrounded by the protective colloid. Accordingly, the cellulose ethers act as stabiliz¬ ing agents. The possible oil content is, however, restricted in this type of emulsion, said oil content being of great importance when for instance it is necessary to produce a ** stock emulsion ** with a high content of oil which must be transportable to the consumer who sets the desired oil content in the emulsion immediately before use by way of addition of further water.
