Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of maintaining at least one component in an aqueous microdroplet dispersed in conditioned oil to form an emulsion is provided. The method comprising the steps of supplementing an unconditioned oil with at least one component to form a conditioned oil; and providing the aqueous microdroplet comprising at least one component, wherein the microdroplet is dispersed in the conditioned oil to form an emulsion, such that the partitioning of the component from the microdroplet into the conditioned oil is reduced, wherein the maintenance of the component within the microdroplet is based on the partition coefficient value of the component being equal to or more than zero; or equilibrating the unconditioned oil with a media or a buffer containing at least one component to form the conditioned oil, such that the partitioning of the component from the aqueous microdroplet into the conditioned oil is reduced, wherein the maintenance of the component within the microdroplet is based on the concentration of the component in the conditioned oil being equivalent to or in excess of the product of the partition coefficient and the concentration of the component in the microdroplet. A method of method of making conditioned oil is also provided.
