In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite rotatable design applied to encapsulate glycyrrhizic acid (GA), within the ultrasound-assisted double emulsions. Three independent variables considered as the 10-30% weight of the internal aqueous phase (W-1) in the primary-emulsion (W-1/O), 6-10% of polyglycerol-polyricinoleate (PGPR) as the surfactant in the oil phase, and 4-6 min sonication-time; dependent variables for optimal W-1/O emulsion fabrication were droplet-size, poly-dispersity-index (PDI), and sedimentation-index. Then, 5-25% wt. of the W-1/O emulsion dispersed into the skim milk as an external aqueous phase (W-2) to form double-emulsions (W-1/O/W-2) through sonication for 1-5 min. The lowest dropletsize and sedimentation-index obtained for the W-1/O emulsions formulated by 19% W-1 in the W-1/O emulsion, 6% PGPR and a sonication time of 6 min. Two optimal-conditions for preparation of double-emulsions were determined based on the results of encapsulation efficiency, droplet-size, and viscosity as follows: the first optimum treatment (15% W-1/O and 3 min sonication) and the second optimal conditions (24% W-1/O and 4 min sonication). The encapsulation efficiency of GA in these double-emulsions was 92%. The emulsions stored for 7 days at 37 degrees C showed instability (2-phase separation). In addition, droplet-size and encapsulation-efficiency increased and decreased during storage, respectively.
