    Some conjectures concerning the Van der Waals-Cahn-Hilliard theory of phase transitions are proved. The main result is the following: to recover, in the frame of this theory, the physical reasonable criterion that the interface has minimal area one has to model interfacial energy by the dependence on the density gradient.
