Abstract
Coencapsulation of hydrophilic L-ascorbic acid and hydrophobic ${\alpha}$-tocopherol in ethosome vesicles was attempted and their properties were investigated in this study. The size of vesicles decreased with increasing concentration of L-ascorbic acid solution encapsulated in ethosome. The vesicle size and encapsulation efficiency of ethosomes increased slightly when ${\alpha}$-tocopherol was added into the HPC-forming liquid crystalline membrane of ethosome. However, the vesicle size increased highly and the encapsulation efficiency decreased abruptly at mixing ratios above 25 wt% due to the formation of an imperfect liquid crystalline structure within a vesicle membrane. It was observed that antioxidant activity was maintained for 5 weeks at $40^{\circ}C$ when L-ascorbic acid and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol were coencapsulated in ethosome. The L-ascorbic acid in ethosome was stable compared to that in aqueous solution under UV radiation.
