Sa. Vona et al., LOCATION OF FRAGRANCE MOLECULES WITHIN LAMELLAR LIQUID-CRYSTALS, Colloids and surfaces. A, Physicochemical and engineering aspects, 137(1-3), 1998, pp. 79-89
The fragrances triethyl citrate, amyl salicylate and terpinyl acetate
were added to lamellar liquid crystals of water and surfactants of non
ionic, anionic and zwitterionic structure. The interlayer spacing was
determined as a function of water content using low angle X-ray diffra
ction. The location of the compound as well as its influence on the wa
ter penetration into the lamellar structure were evaluated, and the re
sults showed that the structure of both the surfactant and the fragran
ce were decisive for these features. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
