Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Ascorbyl palmitate (Asc16) in polyethyleneglycol 400 (PEG 400)-water mixtures at weight fractions (w/w) between 0.05 and 1.0 were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing microscopy (PM) at different temperatures. The employed PEG 400-water proportions were: 0-25-50% and 75% of polymer. A complete phase diagram was determined for each PEG 400-water mixture. A cubic mesophase and two (probably three) lamellar mesophases were detected in different regions of the phase diagrams. The addition of PEG 400 to the Asc16-water system shifts the limits of the liquid crystalline domains to lower temperature and surfactant concentration. At weight fraction of PEG 400≥50%, the limits of the domain of existence of cubic mesophase shift to low surfactant concentration compared with water-rich systems. The hydrated crystals are Asc16.2·6H(2)O. If the proportion of water is lower than that value, a mixture of hydrated and anhydrous crystals appears. Heating these crystals produce waxy crystals having melted hydrocarbon bilayers retaining their crystalline structure because the polar bilayers are still rigid.
