Oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions stabilized by egg yolk, with a composition similar to those found in commercial mayonnaises or salad dressings, were processed in a semicontinuous device. This specially designed emulsification device consists of, basically, a vessel provided with an anchor impeller, where the continuous phase was initially placed; a pumping system that controls the addition of the oily phase; a rotor-stator unit, where the major breaking of the oily droplets takes place, and a recirculation system. The design allowed the introduction of a rotational rheometer to obtain viscosity data along the emulsification process. The most important advantages of this in-line emulsification device, when compared to discontinuous emulsification equipment, are the possibilities of recording viscosity data along the process and the higher values for the storage, G', and loss moduli, G '', of the resulting emulsions. The influence of egg yolk concentration, agitation speed, and flow rate over the rheological properties (G', G '') as well as droplet size distribution were investigated. Higher protein concentration, agitation speed and flow rate generally produce emulsions with higher G' and G '' values.
