Echogenicity caused by stable microbubbles in a protein‐lipid emulsion

Peter L. Davis, Roy A. Filly, Jon Goerke

Abstract

Abstract Some investigators have hypothesized that the echogenicity of natural emulsions is due to protein‐lipid interfaces. An in vitro investigation of these phenomena indicates that the observed echoes are the result of entrapped microbubbles that can remain relativelystable in certain naturally occurring products, such as buttermilk.
