T. Moaddel et al., AMPHIPHILIC ASSOCIATION STRUCTURES IN THE SYSTEM WATER, VITAMIN-E, LECITHIN AND PHOSAL-75-SA, Colloid and polymer science, 274(2), 1996, pp. 153-159
The main features of the system water, vitamin E, lecithin and Phosal
75 SA was determined using optical microscopy and low angle x-ray diff
raction. The results showed the lecithin/water lamellar liquid crystal
to be retained when the lecithin was gradually replaced by Phosal 75
SA. The vitamin E was solubilized in the lamellar liquid crystals to a
maximum level in the range of 15-20% by weight. The vitamin E intermi
ngled with the amphiphile in the liquid crystal causing only minor str
uctural changes.
