A study of interaction between alpha-tocopherol acetate and fatty acids mixed with polyethoxylated phospholipid in langmuir monolayer at air-aqueous interface

alpha-Tocopherol acetate is a specific type of vitamin E and categorized as a water-insoluble substance and widely used as an antioxidant. Molecular interactions among fatty acid/polyethoxylated phospholipid with alpha-tocopherol acetate is of the interest in this study. The effect of the amount alp...
