J Coll Int Sci 2000;232:370-80. These workers use ultrasonic measurements to measure the kinetics of emulsion crystallization and propose that both heterogeneous nucleation and interdroplet nucleation occur simultaneously.

[17] however the workers reach a different conclusion. They propose that the fat self-nucleates when a small fraction of high-melting triglycerides crystallize.

In: Widlak N, Hartel R, Narine S, editors. Crystallization and Solidification Properties of Lipids. Champaign: AOCS Press, 2001. p. 176-89. Combining light scattering, rheology, NMR and microscopy these authors show that the crystal structures of emulsions of two different fats is different and that the different structures have different propensities to partial coalescence.

Combining rheological and particle size data, these workers show that partial coalescence in emulsions can be triggered by precise control of solid fat content, applied strain, and added surfactant.

Noting the non-exponential nature of droplet crystallization kinetics, these workers painstakingly eliminate possible explanations until they are left with the novel hypothesis that the droplets exclude impurities as they crystallize which then diffuse to other droplets to retart their crystallization.
