Figure 6 Scattering curves of two different MLO-based dispersions at 251C with d ¼ 84
(left) and d ¼ 57.1 (right). The curves for different ageing times are shifted
vertically by a constant arbitrary factor for better visibility

Figure 7 Cryo-TEM observations of hexosomes ( d ¼ 84). Indicated in (a) and (b) is the
presence of curved striation (stars) and hexagonal internal symmetry (arrows).
The FFT in (c) of the particle at the bottom left gives a lattice parameter of
6.5 nm

We have shown, as for the case without added oil, that at each investigated
temperature the structure of the entrapped internal phase is the same as that of
the nondispersed samples coexisting with excess water. This again confirms that
the internal structure of the dispersed particles at each temperature corresponds
to an equilibrium mesophase. To elucidate further the structural changes of the
