You can use Tween 80. It is a good emulsifier!

There are a number of things you might do, but having worked for awhile with a surfactants company, they make it their job to solve customer problems exactly like this.
I suggest you contact one such as Rhone-Poulenc, Witco, or Huntsman chem. Any of them would be happy to help and send you free samples.

I know an alternative, for Gum Arabic, which is a combination of uniform sodium alginate particles ” prepared by premix membrane emulsification” & chitosan as a coating for them. The resulting emulsifier has very little toxicity “unfortunately” but it will stabilize the oil-in-water emulsion.
Research is required to get rid of this slight toxicity.
