N2 - Ripening phenomena occurring within different kinds of emulsions have been studied. The emulsions concerned are simple water-in-oil (W/O) or oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, mixed emulsions obtained by the mixture of two simple emulsions, and multiple emulsions water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) or oil-in-water-in-oil (O/W/O) emulsions. Composition ripening due to a mass transfer and solid ripening due to the formation of solid particles from the undercooled droplets or due to the formation of solid hydrate around the droplets have been pointed out on using a suitable calorimetric technique. For that purpose a non-diluted emulsion sample is submitted to a cooling and heating cycle during which solidification and melting temperatures and energies of the different phases are analyzed. It has been shown that correlations between these quantities and the properties of the dispersed phase permit one to get information about the ripening phenomena under study. The solution-diffusion model used for mass transfer is in good agreement with the experimental results. From the shell model used for the hydrate formation, it has been possible to deduce the formation energy and the influence of salt upon the temperature of formation.
