چکیده

The effects of six different polyglycerol esters of fatty acids (PGEs) as nonionic emulsi fiers on the physicochemical properties and stability of β-carotene nanoparticles in oil-in-water dispersions prepared by solvent displacement technique were investigated. The β-carotene particle size was measured by a laser diffraction technique, and the stability and retention of β-carotene during storage were determined by HPLC. The particle size of samples varied in the range of 33.5-202.4nm and decreased with increase of polymerization degree of emulsifiers. ML series of PGE had much higher performance to produce smallerparticle size nanodispersions. During storage at 4°C in dark, the physical stability shown that most of PGEstabilized β-carotene nanodispersions were stable in particle size except for that stabilized by MO310. But the chemical property was unstable. Results shown β-carotene losses was found in all of PGE-stabilized nanodispersions, however, β-carotene in ML-series stabilized nanodispersions became much chemically stable than MO series. In term of results, ML750 was selected as the best performed emulsifier to investigated the effect of emulsifier concentration and β-carotene concentration in β-carotene nanoparticle prepared. It was observed increasing the β-carotene concentration significantly increased (P\0.05) the mean particle diameter. Opposite, the emulsifier concentration was relative to the particle size. It suggested these two factors effected the β-carotene nanodispersions preparation significantly.

Effects of selected polysorbate and sucrose ester emulsifiers on the physicochemical properties of astaxanthin nanodispersions.

The effects of selected nonionic emulsifiers on the physicochemical characteristics of astaxanthin nanodispersions produced by an emulsification/evaporation technique were studied. The emulsifiers used were polysorbates (Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 40, Polysorbate 60 and Polysorbate 80) and sucrose esters of fatty acids (sucrose laurate, palmitate, stearate and oleate). The mean particle diamet...

Synthesis of neopentyl glycol and ethylene glycol esters by fatty acids in the presence of acidic ion exchange resin catalyst

A most effective and less energy demanding method of producing fatty esters, diol esters, by esterifying fatty acids, with neopentyl and ethylenglycol alcohols in the presence of an acidic ion exchange resin catalyst(polyestyrendivinylbenzensulfated) was investigated at elevated temperature. In this process an azeotroping agent, toluene, was used to facilitate continuous removal of water by dis...
