The most frequent emulsiflcation using phase inversion is known as the PIT (Phase Inversion Temperature) method [81-83] and occurs through a temperature quench. This method is based on the phase behavior of nonionic surfactants and the correlation existing between the so-called surfactant spontaneous curvature and the type of emulsion obtained.
