An investigation of the possibility of preparing aqueous solutions of triglycerides has been made by determining phase regions in systems of three and four components. The results have shown that isotropic aqueous solutions with solubilized triglyceride of up to about 15 wt % can be achieved. A primary solubilization of the triglyceride into a liquid crystalline phase of monoglyceride is followed by the addition of a hydrotrope which transforms the liquid crystalline phase into an isotropic liquid in which the triglyceride is soluble at certain component ratios.
