title: A study of molecular complex formation between propyl gallate and ascorbic acid in the microemulsion phase of sodium dodecyl sulfate, pentanol and water system.
abstract: The association between two water-soluble antioxidants, i.e. ascorbic acid and propyl gallate have been studied by absorption spectroscopy in microemulsion formed in sodium dodecyl sulfate/pentanol/water micellar system. It has been shown that propyl gallate forms 1:1 molecular complex with ascorbic acid in every solution. Evolution of the absorption spectra during the study of molecular complex formation goes through well-defined isosbestic points. The association constants were calculated using curve-fitting procedure. The observed interactions are stronger in the less polar solvents.
