We employed a kinetic method to determine the distributions of the antioxidants hydroxytyrosol (HT) and hydroxytyrosol acetate (HTA) between the oil, aqueous, and interfacial regions of a model food emulsion composed of stripped olive oil, acidic water, and a blend of Tween 80 and Span 80 [hydrophilic–lipophilic balance (HLB) = 8.05] as an emulsifier [...]
We have analyzed the effects of acidity and emulsifier concentration on the distribution of ascorbic acid or vitamin C (VC) in a model emulsion prepared by mixing octane, acidic (HCl) water and the non-ionic surfactant hexaethyleneglycol monododecyl ether (C12E6). VC is oil insoluble, and only the partition constant between the interfacial and aqueous regions (PWI) is needed to describe its distribution within the emulsion [...]
We determined the effects of emulsifier concentration and temperature on the distribution of gallic acid (GA) in a food-grade emulsion composed of 1:9 vol:vol stripped corn oil, acidic water and Tween 20. The distribution of GA can be defined by the partition constant between the aqueous and the interfacial regions, View the MathML source, which was determined by using a kinetic method and the pseudophase kinetic model [...]
