Abstract

The resistance of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) incorporated $L-{\alpha}-phosphatidyl$ -choline (PC) liposomes against autoxidation was studied for application to food and cosmetic industry. For the preparation of vitamin-C/calcium alginate gel entrapped DHA-PC-liposomes (AVDLs), DHA incorporated PC bilayer was hydrated with vitamin-C containing calcium alginate solution, and the fraction containing liposome was suspended in $CaCl_2$ solution. DHA loading efficiency was calculated by TLC scanning method The morphological examination of AVDLs was performed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and lipid peroxidation was measured with an assay for thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS). DHA loading efficiency was about 17 % of initial loading volume, and when AVDLr containing 0.2 % vitamin C, lipid oxidation was minimized.

DHA의 산화를 방지하기 위하여 vitamin C/alginate 리포솜에 병합시켰다. TEM을 통하여 제조된 AVDLs를 확인할 수 있었고, TLC를 통하여 각각의 AVDLs는 초기 첨가량의 15 ${\sim}$ 18 % DHA를 함유하고 있음을 확인하였다. TBARS assay에 의해$40^{\circ}C$에서 AVDLs에 포함된 DHA의 산화정도를 분석한 결과 vitamin C를 포함한 리포솜이 DHA의 산화를 억제하는 것으로 확인되었으며 0.2 % vitamin C를 포함한 AVDLs가 항산화 효과가 가장 큼을 알 수 있었다. AVDLs는 실험에서와 같은 산화조건에서 DHA의 산화를 초기 3일까지는 억제시킴을 알 수있었다.
