The soybean oil-propofol droplets in water, which would otherwise coalesce into larger droplets of oil and eventually separate into water and oil phases, are stabilized by the egg yolk lecithin, which imparts a net negative charge to the surface of the oil droplets, making an emulsion which is stable for several years.
