چکیده

Phase behavior of distearoylphosphatidylethanolamine dispersed in excess glycerol has been examined by differential scanning calorimetry. Transformation from lamellar-gel to lamellar crystalline phase was found to take place at temperatures near 74.9 degrees C upon cooling and near 76.3 degrees C during heating scans. The transition can also be observed under isothermal conditions at temperature in this range. The kinetics of the transformation from lamellar-gel to lamellar-crystal phase was analyzed by the well-known Avrami equation. The apparent Avrami exponents were found to be approximately 1.6. The effective dimensionality of the growth pattern can then be set as 1, after taking into account the contribution of nucleation at the examination temperatures. The activation energy of the phase transition was estimated as approximately 255 kJ mol(-1). The data are discussed in terms of development of successful cryoprotective strategies using glycerol.

Suggestion of New Correlations for Drop/Interface Coalescence Phenomena in the Absence and Presence of Single Surfactant

After designing and constructing a coalescence cell, drop/interface coalescence phenomenon was studied in the absence and presence of single surfactant.Two surface active agents of sodium dodecyl sulfate and 1-decanol were used. Distilled water was used as dispersed phase. Toluene, n-heptane and aqueous 60% (v/v) of glycerol were selected as continuous phases, separately. It was found that ...

Modeling the Rheological Properties of Carboxymethylcellulose Stabilized O/W Emulsions Based on Sunflower Oil and Tallow Fat

The aim of this research was to assess the effect of fat type and concentration as well as the continuous phase viscosity on the rheological properties of an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion. Thus, sunflower oil and tallow fat were used as the dispersed phase of the emulsion both at 10 and 50% (w/v) and CMC solutions (at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% w/v) were acted as the continuous phase. CMC solutions and em...

Glycerol derivatives of cutin and suberin monomers: synthesis and self-assembly.

Glycerol derivatives of cutin and suberin monomers were synthesized by acid catalysis. Their dispersion in an aqueous solution was examined by phase contrast microscopy, neutron scattering, and solid state NMR. It is shown that the phase behavior strongly depends on the nature of the derivatives forming either lumps of aggregated membranes or well dispersed membranes.

Effect of Dispersed Phase Volume Fraction on Physical Stability of Oil-in-Water Emulsion in The Presence of Gum Tragacanth

Background: The dispersed phase volume fraction plays key role in oil-in-water emulsion stability by different mechanisms like partial flocculation, depletion flocculation and bridging flocculation. Since the mentioned mechanism is affected by emulsifier concentration presented in system, the major aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dispersed phase volume fraction on physical st...
