ABSTRACT
Homogenization encompasses techniques of emulsification of one liquid into another, dispersing solid particles uniformly in a product, and disrupting cell membranes. Traditionally, homogenizers have been used in the pharmaceutical industry for emulsification. This entry is focused on commonly used homogenizers in the pharmaceutical industry, such as the high-pressure homogenizer, rotor-stator homogenizer, microfluidizer, and ultra-sonic homogenizer.
