Stabilization of Ascorbic Acid using Anhydrous Multiple Emulsion

  • Published : 2003.09.01

Abstract

Vitamin C's function and mechanism are comparatively well known among the several kinds of vitamins. Inhibition of free radical. promotion of collagen synthesis, restraint of melanin formation and resolution of melanin are its main functions. But Vitamin C is very easy to oxidize by heat, moisture or air so it causes stability problem to make formulation. To solve these problems unique formulating method or derivatives using method could be effective. Object: First, stabilize 10% of Ascorbic acid as polyol/silicone emulsion and try to make polyol/silicone/polyol anhydrous multiple emulsion secondly. And then, encapsulate with porous power to enhance the stability of Ascorbic Acid from formulating method.
