However, systematic studies of their properties along the classical lines of complex fluids science are still missing. In the present paper we focus on the phase behavior, the interfacial tension and the microstructure of systems of type H2O/NaCl–triacylglycerol–alkylpolyglycolether (CiEj). The interfacial tension between water and oil σab is high in a microemulsion system containing triolein. Thus, one needs high surfactant mass fractions to formulate a single-phase microemulsion. We show that this is not only true for triolein, but also for saturated long-chained triacylglycerols. The determination of the amphiphilicity factor fa and the calculation of the bending rigidities of the amphiphilic film confirm that despite the fact that high surfactant mass fractions and high temperatures are needed to solubilize triolein in a system of type H2O/NaCl–triacylglycerol–alkylpolyglycolether (CiEj), this is still a microemulsion in the narrower sense.
