German term

Olivenölstammemulsion

German to English Science Medical: Pharmaceuticals
This is a heading and underneath is the description of how it is made. I have a problem with the Stamm part. Unfortunately, I cannot give you more information. It appears once in the whole document (41 pp of chemical and pharmaceutical documentation).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lis

olive oil stock emulsion

I'm presuming "olive oil" may be taken as given and "Stammemulsion" is normally "stock emulsion" - cf. Langenscheidts Fachwörterbuch Chemie.

Thanks for the help. I guess proz tossed the coin for me, because I got two correct answers at the same time. Have a great weekend; Lis

agree Zareh Darakjian Ph.D. : synchronous "synwordous", but I will be happy for you to get the points. I don't want to create a situation where even Solomonic wisdom might not be enough!

Assuming our answers are right and any points are distributed, we can share them.

This known oil/water emulsion is produced without the use of an emulgator or another surfactant, as a viscous solution of an aqueous cellulose ether is used instead in a weight ratio of 0.1 to 2.5% by weight calculated relative to the water- insoluble substances of the emulsion. When cellulose ethers are used, these substances form a protective colloid preventing coalecense of the resulting emulsion because the oil drops in the emulsion are surrounded by the protective colloid. Accordingly, the cellulose ethers act as stabiliz¬ ing agents. The possible oil content is, however, restricted in this type of emulsion, said oil content being of great importance when for instance it is necessary to produce a ** stock emulsion ** with a high content of oil which must be transportable to the consumer who sets the desired oil content in the emulsion immediately before use by way of addition of further water.
