Lacunarity and fractal dimension could successfully characterize irregularity and empty spaces in micelles/agglomerates.
Microfluidization decreased size of micelles/agglomerates in pre-emulsion.
Tween 20, SDS and lecithin induced the micellar agglomeration.
Lecithin increased macroscopic homogeneity of emulsion and decreased diameter of irregular micelles/agglomerates.
Homogeneity of emulsion was not influenced by irregular-contour of micelles/agglomerates.
